uPVC windows in Stratford-upon-Avon

uPVC windows in Stratford-upon-Avon: approvals and local details

Work like this in Stratford-upon-Avon 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, Stratford-on-Avon District Council is the authority.

Bay windows often carry weight from above, so the structure is checked before the old frames come out.
If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.

Options to consider in Stratford-upon-Avon

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.

uPVC windows in Stratford-upon-Avon: common questions

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 Stratford-upon-Avon?

Yes. Stratford-upon-Avon (CV37) is about 26 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.

Does Stratford-on-Avon 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 Stratford-upon-Avon is provided by Stratford-on-Avon District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
