Choices to weigh up in Wolverhampton

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.

Guide prices start at £380 and run to £2,600 per window. Standard white casement, about 1,200 × 1,200 mm, with trickle vent and old frame removed: around £420–£640 per window.

Before you book in Wolverhampton

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 Wolverhampton?

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.

Do I need planning permission for replacement windows?

Not usually. Replacing windows in a house with ones of similar appearance is normally permitted development. You may need permission if you live in a flat, in a listed building, or where an Article 4 direction controls the look of windows, which is common in conservation areas. Leaseholders may also need the freeholder's consent before changing windows.

Will I need permission from the council in Wolverhampton?

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