Choices to weigh up in Great Wyrley
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.
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.

Questions about uPVC windows in Great Wyrley
How long does it take to replace the windows in a house?
Fitting usually takes one to two days for a typical house, working one opening at a time. The longer wait is manufacture: frames are made to measure after the survey, which normally takes four to six weeks. Bay windows or a large number of frames can add an extra day on site.
Which postcodes in Great Wyrley do you work in?
We cover WS6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Great Wyrley, neighbouring Cheslyn Hay and Cannock 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.
Will I need permission from the council in Great Wyrley?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Great Wyrley is provided by South Staffordshire Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
