- Glass within 800 mm of the floor must be toughened or laminated safety glass.
- Bay windows often carry weight from above, so the structure is checked before the old frames come out.

Choices to weigh up in Hall Green
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.
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.

uPVC windows in Hall Green: common questions
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.
Do you cover Hall Green?
Yes. Hall Green (B28) is about 9 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. 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.
Will I need permission from the council in Hall Green?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Hall Green is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
