Winter light and glass choice in Taunton

Rules for casement 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.
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
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions from Taunton
Do casement windows need trickle vents?
If the old windows had them, yes, and at least as large. If not, ventilation must be no worse than before. We size this on survey.
What is an egress hinge?
A hinge that lets the sash open wide enough to climb out in a fire. It is used where a bedroom window is also the escape route.
Do I need permission for triple glazed casement windows in Taunton?
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 casement windows fitted in Taunton?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 4 to 6 weeks in uPVC, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
