uPVC windows in Worcester

Before your new windows in Worcester

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

If your old windows have trickle vents, the new ones must have vents at least as large.
Each window is replaced and sealed before the next one is removed, so no room is left open overnight.
You should receive a building regulations certificate for new windows, which a buyer's solicitor will ask to see.

Choices to weigh up in Worcester

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover Worcester?

Yes. Worcester (WR1, WR2, WR3, WR4) is about 24 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Worcester?

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