uPVC windows in Worcestershire

uPVC windows in Worcestershire: approvals and local details

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Worcestershire? Check with the district or borough council for your town before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your new windows are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.
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.

Which options suit homes in Worcestershire?

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.

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

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.

How do I book a survey in Worcestershire?

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 Worcestershire?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Worcestershire 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.
