Which options suit homes in Leamington Spa?

Bay and bow windows

Bays are three or more windows set at angles; bows are a gentle curve of four or five. Replacement bays are built with structural bay poles or posts so the window doesn't carry the load of the brickwork or roof above. We check whether the existing bay is load-bearing before quoting, because that changes how it's supported during the swap.

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.

How much should you budget in Leamington Spa?

Your questions answered

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.

Which postcodes in Leamington Spa do you work in?

We cover CV32 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Leamington Spa, neighbouring Warwick and Kenilworth 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.

Does Warwick 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 Leamington Spa is provided by Warwick District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
