Choices to weigh up in Heath Hayes

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.

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.

uPVC windows in Heath Hayes: 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.

Which postcodes in Heath Hayes do you work in?

We cover WS12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Heath Hayes, neighbouring Hednesford and Cannock 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 Cannock Chase District Council need to approve my new windows?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Heath Hayes is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
