Which options suit homes in Kings Norton?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Kings Norton?

Expect to budget between £380 and £2,600 per window in Kings Norton. Standard white casement, about 1,200 × 1,200 mm, with trickle vent and old frame removed: typically £420–£640 per window.

uPVC windows in Kings Norton: common questions

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 Kings Norton do you work in?

We cover B38 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Kings Norton, neighbouring Bournville and Northfield are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Kings Norton?

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