Planning your new windows in Earlsdon
Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Earlsdon? 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.
- Each window is replaced and sealed before the next one is removed, so no room is left open overnight.
- 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.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.

Questions about uPVC windows in Earlsdon
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.
Which postcodes in Earlsdon do you work in?
We cover CV5 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Earlsdon, neighbouring Allesley and Tile Hill are covered too.
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.
Does Coventry City Council need to approve my new windows?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Earlsdon is provided by Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
