uPVC windows in Shenstone

Planning your new windows in Shenstone

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Shenstone? Check with Lichfield District 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.

Each window is replaced and sealed before the next one is removed, so no room is left open overnight.
If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
Upstairs escape windows in Shenstone homes must open at least as wide as the ones they replace.

Which option fits your home?

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

What do I need to do before fitting day?

Clear window sills and move furniture, ornaments and curtains about a metre back from each window. Take down blinds and curtain poles if they're fixed to the frame or reveal. Make sure there's parking or space for the van and frames, and tell us about alarms with sensors on the windows so they can be refitted.

Do you cover Shenstone?

Yes. Shenstone (WS14) is about 10 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Who approves uPVC windows in Shenstone?

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