Before your new windows in Kinver

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 Kinver, building control is provided by South Staffordshire Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Upstairs escape windows in Kinver homes must open at least as wide as the ones they replace.
You should receive a building regulations certificate for new windows, which a buyer's solicitor will ask to see.

Options to consider in Kinver

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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 Kinver do you work in?

We cover DY7 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Kinver, neighbouring Wollaston and Wordsley 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 Kinver?

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