Which option fits your home?
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.
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.

Your questions answered
How much do new uPVC windows cost for a three-bed semi?
Most three-bed semis have eight to ten windows, and replacing them all in white uPVC typically costs around £3,800–£6,500 in total in the West Midlands, including fitting and removal of the old frames. A bay window, colour finishes or tilt-and-turn sashes push it higher. We price each window separately in your quote, so you can see exactly where the money goes and phase the work if you'd prefer.
Do you cover Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. Sutton Coldfield (B72, B73, B74, B75) is about 8 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.
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.
Who approves uPVC windows in Sutton Coldfield?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Sutton Coldfield is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
