uPVC windows in Wyken

What should you know before starting in Wyken?

Work like this in Wyken rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Coventry City Council is the authority.

Bay windows often carry weight from above, so the structure is checked before the old frames come out.
Replacement windows must have a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or above.
Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction may need consent before windows are changed.

Choices to weigh up in Wyken

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover Wyken?

Yes. Wyken (CV2) is about 23 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.

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.

Who approves uPVC windows in Wyken?

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