uPVC windows in Hodge Hill

Before your new windows in Hodge Hill

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Hodge Hill? 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.

You should receive a building regulations certificate for new windows, which a buyer's solicitor will ask to see.
Replacement windows must have a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or above.
Each window is replaced and sealed before the next one is removed, so no room is left open overnight.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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 Hodge Hill

Will fitting new windows make a mess?

There's some dust when old frames come out, mainly around each opening, so we sheet floors and cover furniture near every window. Each window is removed, replaced and sealed before the next one starts, so rooms aren't left open to the weather. Plaster at the reveal can sometimes crack; minor making good is included, and anything larger is discussed before we do it.

Which postcodes in Hodge Hill do you work in?

We cover B8 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Hodge Hill, neighbouring Aston and Stechford are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Hodge Hill?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Hodge Hill is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
