What should you know before starting in Redditch?
Work like this in Redditch rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Redditch Borough Council is the authority.
- Upstairs escape windows in Redditch 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.
- Each window is replaced and sealed before the next one is removed, so no room is left open overnight.

Options to consider in Redditch
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.
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.
How much should you budget in Redditch?
Guide prices start at £380 and run to £2,600 per window. Standard white casement, about 1,200 × 1,200 mm, with trickle vent and old frame removed: around £420–£640 per window.
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |

uPVC windows in Redditch: common questions
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.
How do I book a survey in Redditch?
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.
Who approves uPVC windows in Redditch?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Redditch is provided by Redditch Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
