Housing across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire
Stirling's old town has historic stone buildings, with Victorian villas in the King's Park area and newer estates around the city. Falkirk and Grangemouth have industrial-era terraces and post-war housing, and Alloa and the Hillfoots villages in Clackmannanshire mix stone cottages, mill-era housing and harled council homes.
Stone homes commonly need repointing and slate roof repairs, and harled houses need re-rendering. Semis and bungalows suit extensions and loft conversions, and newer homes take garage conversions and driveways.
The Forth valley is prone to frost and low-lying flood risk, while the Ochil hills bring heavier rain to the Hillfoots.
Do you need permission in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
The notes below cover Scotland, which is where Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire sits. Rules change and every property is different, so we speak to the council before pricing your job.
In Scotland, replacing windows and doors on a house generally needs no planning permission when the style is similar, but listed buildings and conservation areas are closely controlled and often need consent for any change of material or pattern.
A building warrant is not usually needed for like-for-like replacement windows, but the new units must still meet the Scottish building standards, including energy performance and, where relevant, escape from upper floors.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
From survey to handover
Survey and measure
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about replacement windows.
Quote in writing
After the survey we send a quote for replacement windows that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Dates and permissions
Before anyone starts, we confirm the programme in writing, check whether consents are required and arrange deliveries. If a skip or scaffolding on the road needs a permit, we apply for it.
Finish and handover
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.
What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for new windows?
Planning permission is not usually needed to replace windows with similar ones, but it depends on the size and style of the change, your home's location, whether it is listed or in a conservation area, and which UK nation you live in. Listed buildings normally need consent for any change, and some conservation areas restrict uPVC or new styles. Flats may also need the building owner's approval. We check the position for your property before quoting.
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.
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.
How long will replacement windows take?
On a typical home, allow 1–2 days on site for a typical house. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
