uPVC windows in Pelsall

Before your new windows in Pelsall

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Pelsall? Check with Walsall 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.

If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
Upstairs escape windows in Pelsall homes must open at least as wide as the ones they replace.
Bay windows often carry weight from above, so the structure is checked before the old frames come out.

Which options suit homes in Pelsall?

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.

Casement windows

The standard side-hung or top-hung window found in most UK homes. Casements are the simplest and cheapest to make, open wide for airing and cleaning, and can be set up as fire escape windows on upper floors. They come in white, colours and woodgrain finishes, with chamfered or sculptured frame profiles to suit the age of the house.

Your questions answered

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.

How do I book a survey in Pelsall?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new windows and arrange a time to visit.

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.

Does Walsall Council need to approve my new windows?

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