Planning your new windows in Four Oaks

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Four Oaks? Check with Birmingham 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.

Bay windows often carry weight from above, so the structure is checked before the old frames come out.
Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.
Replacement windows must have a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or above.

Options to consider in Four Oaks

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Which postcodes in Four Oaks do you work in?

We cover B74, B75 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Four Oaks, neighbouring Sutton Coldfield and Streetly are covered too.

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.

Does Birmingham 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 Four Oaks is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
