Planning your new windows in Dudley
Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Dudley? Check with Dudley 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.
- Glass within 800 mm of the floor must be toughened or laminated safety glass.
- Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.
- If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.

Options to consider in Dudley
Flush sash casements
A casement where the opening sash sits level with the outer frame instead of overlapping it, copying the look of traditional timber joinery. Flush frames cost more than standard casements but suit period terraces and cottages well, especially in heritage colours with traditional-style hinges and monkey-tail or pear-drop handles.
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.

Before you book in Dudley
Will fitting new windows make a mess?
There's some dust when old frames come out, mainly around each opening, so we sheet floors and cover furniture near every window. Each window is removed, replaced and sealed before the next one starts, so rooms aren't left open to the weather. Plaster at the reveal can sometimes crack; minor making good is included, and anything larger is discussed before we do it.
Do you cover the whole of Dudley?
Yes — we cover Dudley from our West Bromwich base, including Sandwell, Wolverhampton and Walsall. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
What do I need to do before fitting day?
Clear window sills and move furniture, ornaments and curtains about a metre back from each window. Take down blinds and curtain poles if they're fixed to the frame or reveal. Make sure there's parking or space for the van and frames, and tell us about alarms with sensors on the windows so they can be refitted.
