uPVC windows in West Bromwich

Before your new windows in West Bromwich

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 West Bromwich, building control is provided by Sandwell Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Upstairs escape windows in West Bromwich homes must open at least as wide as the ones they replace.
If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.

Choices to weigh up in West Bromwich

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.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Does Sandwell Council need to approve my new windows?

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