Planning your new windows in Walmley
Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Walmley? Check with Birmingham City 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.
- Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.
- If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.

Options to consider in Walmley
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.
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.

Questions about uPVC windows in Walmley
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.
How do I book a survey in Walmley?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new windows and arrange a time to visit.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Walmley?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Walmley is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
