Before your new windows in Coventry
Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Coventry? Check with Coventry City Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your new windows are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.
- Replacement windows must have a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or above.
- If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
- You should receive a building regulations certificate for new windows, which a buyer's solicitor will ask to see.

Which option fits your home?
Casement windows
The standard side-hung or top-hung window found in most UK homes. Casements are the simplest and cheapest to make, open wide for airing and cleaning, and can be set up as fire escape windows on upper floors. They come in white, colours and woodgrain finishes, with chamfered or sculptured frame profiles to suit the age of the house.
Bay and bow windows
Bays are three or more windows set at angles; bows are a gentle curve of four or five. Replacement bays are built with structural bay poles or posts so the window doesn't carry the load of the brickwork or roof above. We check whether the existing bay is load-bearing before quoting, because that changes how it's supported during the swap.

uPVC windows in Coventry: common questions
How much do new uPVC windows cost for a three-bed semi?
Most three-bed semis have eight to ten windows, and replacing them all in white uPVC typically costs around £3,800–£6,500 in total in the West Midlands, including fitting and removal of the old frames. A bay window, colour finishes or tilt-and-turn sashes push it higher. We price each window separately in your quote, so you can see exactly where the money goes and phase the work if you'd prefer.
Do you cover the whole of Coventry?
Yes — we cover Coventry from our West Bromwich base, including Warwickshire, Solihull and Birmingham. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Coventry?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Coventry is provided by Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
