uPVC windows in Tividale

What should you know before starting in Tividale?

Work like this in Tividale 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, Sandwell Council is the authority.

Upstairs escape windows in Tividale 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.
You should receive a building regulations certificate for new windows, which a buyer's solicitor will ask to see.

Choices to weigh up in Tividale

Flush sash casements

A casement where the opening sash sits level with the outer frame instead of overlapping it, copying the look of traditional timber joinery. Flush frames cost more than standard casements but suit period terraces and cottages well, especially in heritage colours with traditional-style hinges and monkey-tail or pear-drop handles.

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.

uPVC windows in Tividale: 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 Tividale?

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 Tividale?

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