Winter light in Birmingham
At Birmingham’s latitude the heating season runs for several months and the winter sun is low (about 14° at noon on 21 December), so the warmer inner pane of triple glazing is noticeable.
Rules in England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and whole-window U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job
- Guarantees on frames, units and fitting in writing
Questions
Do I need planning permission in Birmingham?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area before changing the style.
How long does fitting take in Birmingham?
Most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days once the windows are made; manufacture takes about 4 to 12 weeks depending on the frame.
Which frame is best for a house in Birmingham?
It depends on the house rather than the town: uPVC for value, aluminium for slim frames and big panes, timber for period homes, alu-clad timber for low upkeep. Our surveyor will talk through the options.
How much does triple glazing cost in Birmingham?
Our guide prices are the same UK-wide: triple glazed uPVC windows from £695 each and a 3-bed semi from £9,395, fitted and inc VAT.
