Choices to weigh up in Quinton
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.
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.

Before you book in Quinton
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.

What guarantee comes with new windows?
Frames, glass and hardware are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your specific windows are set out in your quote. Ask what's covered for sealed units misting up, hinges and locks, as these differ between suppliers. Keep the guarantee paperwork with your building regulations certificate, because both are useful when you come to sell.
Does Birmingham City Council need to approve my new windows?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Quinton is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
