Choices to weigh up in Wordsley

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.

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.

Questions about uPVC windows in Wordsley

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.

Which postcodes in Wordsley do you work in?

We cover DY8 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Wordsley, neighbouring Kingswinford and Amblecote are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Wordsley?

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