Triple glazed bay and bow windows in Bodmin
If you live in Bodmin (PL31) and want triple glazed bay and bow windows, start with a free survey: every opening measured, then a written quote that fixes the price.
Coupled triple glazed frames with bay poles where the load needs them. A bay window projects out from the wall in angled sections; a bow window curves in more, shallower sections.
Winter light and glass choice in Bodmin

Rules for bay and bow windows in England
In England, replacement windows must meet 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.
Before ordering: 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
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and whole-window U-value on every quote

Questions from Bodmin
Do bay windows need bay poles?
If the old frames carry load from above, yes. We check on survey and include support in the quote where needed.
Can I change a bay to a flat window?
That is a structural and planning change, not a like-for-like replacement. Ask and we will explain what it involves.
Do I need permission for triple glazed bay and bow windows in Bodmin?
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 or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
How long does it take to get triple glazed bay and bow windows fitted in Bodmin?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 5 to 8 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
