Before your new windows in Warwickshire
This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Warwickshire, building control is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).
- Upstairs escape windows in Warwickshire homes must open at least as wide as the ones they replace.
- You should receive a building regulations certificate for new windows, which a buyer's solicitor will ask to see.
- Replacement windows must have a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or above.

Which options suit homes in Warwickshire?
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.
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.
How much should you budget in Warwickshire?
Prices in Warwickshire match the rest of our area: £380–£2,600 per window. Standard white casement, about 1,200 × 1,200 mm, with trickle vent and old frame removed: usually £420–£640 per window.
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| White casement window | £380 – £650 per window | Standard size, white frame, double glazed |
| Coloured or flush casement | £520 – £950 per window | Foiled colours, woodgrain or flush sash frames |
| Bay or bow window | £1,300 – £2,600 per window | Three to five panes, with structural bay supports |

Your questions answered
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.

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.
Does the council need to approve my new windows?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Warwickshire is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
