uPVC windows in Kingstanding

What should you know before starting in Kingstanding?

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Kingstanding, building control is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.
If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
Glass within 800 mm of the floor must be toughened or laminated safety glass.

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.

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 Kingstanding: common questions

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.

Do you cover Kingstanding?

Yes. Kingstanding (B44) is about 5 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.

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.

Who approves uPVC windows in Kingstanding?

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