uPVC windows in Wollaston

Planning your new windows in Wollaston

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 Wollaston, building control is provided by Dudley Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

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.
Glass within 800 mm of the floor must be toughened or laminated safety glass.

Options to consider in Wollaston

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.

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.

How do I book a survey in Wollaston?

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.

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 Dudley Council need to approve my new windows?

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