uPVC windows in Tettenhall

Planning your new windows in Tettenhall

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Tettenhall? Check with City of Wolverhampton 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.

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.
If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.

Choices to weigh up in Tettenhall

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Which postcodes in Tettenhall do you work in?

We cover WV6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tettenhall, neighbouring Perton and Codsall are covered too.

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.

Does City of Wolverhampton Council need to approve my new windows?

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