Choices to weigh up in Brierley Hill

Vertical sliding sash windows

uPVC sliding sashes reproduce the look of Victorian and Edwardian box sashes without the rattles, draughts and repainting. They use spiral balances instead of weights, tilt inwards for cleaning and can include decorative horns and astragal bars. They cost noticeably more than casements but keep the character of a period front.

Tilt-and-turn windows

One handle lets the window tilt inwards at the top for secure ventilation, or swing fully open like a door. Tilt-and-turn suits flats, upstairs rooms and wide openings where you want easy cleaning from inside. The frames are sturdy, lock at several points around the sash and can be specified to meet fire escape sizes.

uPVC windows in Brierley Hill: common questions

Do I need planning permission for replacement windows?

Not usually. Replacing windows in a house with ones of similar appearance is normally permitted development. You may need permission if you live in a flat, in a listed building, or where an Article 4 direction controls the look of windows, which is common in conservation areas. Leaseholders may also need the freeholder's consent before changing windows.

How do I book a survey in Brierley Hill?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new windows and arrange a time to visit.

What guarantee comes with new windows?

Frames, glass and hardware are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your specific windows are set out in your quote. Ask what's covered for sealed units misting up, hinges and locks, as these differ between suppliers. Keep the guarantee paperwork with your building regulations certificate, because both are useful when you come to sell.

Will I need permission from the council in Brierley Hill?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Brierley Hill is provided by Dudley Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
