Building in Tyldesley
Rows of Victorian red-brick terraces fill much of Manchester, Salford and the mill towns, with stone terraces in the Pennine fringes around Oldham and Saddleworth. South Manchester has Edwardian semis and villas, Wythenshawe was built as a large interwar garden suburb, and city-centre apartments and new estates continue to grow.
Rainfall is high, especially near the Pennines, so brickwork, gutters and roof coverings take a steady soaking and freeze-thaw over winter.
Knowing the typical building types in Greater Manchester helps, but a survey of your own home in Tyldesley is what decides the right approach to replacement windows.
Permissions for replacement windows in Tyldesley
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Tyldesley comes under England, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
Replacing windows and doors on a house is usually permitted development in England when the new ones look broadly similar to the old. Flats, listed buildings and homes covered by an Article 4 direction can need consent, and conservation areas may limit materials or styles.
Replacement windows and external doors must meet Building Regulations for energy efficiency, ventilation and, on upper floors, escape. The work is either self-certified by an installer registered with a competent person scheme or signed off by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.

Free site survey
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Quote in writing
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Booking the work
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
Build and hand over
The work is carried out to the agreed specification, with floors and furniture protected and the site kept tidy. At the end we clean up, walk through the finished job with you and hand over any certificates.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit windows in a house?
Fitting replacement windows in a typical 3-bed house usually takes one to two days on site. We take out and fit one window at a time, so each room is weathertight again within an hour or two. Bays, sash windows and homes needing scaffolding take longer. Manufacture comes first: made-to-measure frames typically take a few weeks to arrive after the survey and your order are confirmed.
Should I choose uPVC or aluminium windows?
uPVC windows are the lower-cost choice, insulate well and need only occasional cleaning, which suits most houses. Aluminium windows have slimmer frames that let in more light and suit modern homes or large openings, but they cost more. Both come in a wide range of colours and finishes. We usually recommend matching the style and proportions of your home's original windows, especially on period properties.
Which postcodes in Tyldesley do you cover?
We cover M29, M38, M46 and WN7, along with the rest of Greater Manchester. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
How do I look after new uPVC or aluminium windows?
Caring for new windows is simple: wash frames and glass with warm soapy water a few times a year, avoiding abrasive cleaners and solvents. Clear the drainage slots at the bottom of the frame so rainwater can escape, and put a drop of light oil on hinges and locking points once a year. Check seals and the sealant around the outside every few years, and replace any that have cracked or shrunk.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
