With the options now available to you to change your windows and doors, style and type it is worth considering whether you would need planning permission. In many circumstances to add a porch, new door or conservatory there is no regulatory red-tape or planning needed but it is worth consulting a double glazing expert for advice.
You may enlarge a window or remove the portion of the wall below a window to create a doorway. This only requires a notification to the local authority planning office (fee varies by Local Authority) and it is something that Double Glazing on the Web would undertake on your behalf.
If you require additional space of more that 70 cubic metres (approx 30m2), planning permission will be needed. Double Glazing on the Web can advise and make an application on your behalf. (fee payable)
If you live in a conservation area, an area of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ or in a listed building we advise you to contact your local planning office to see what restrictions may be in force.

Ok so the weather’s been glorious and we are set for a fabulous summer on the South Coast. Living in the Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset area certainly has its advantages when the weather’s good, but there are drawbacks to living on the South Coast and replacement windows can be one of them.
Yes UPVC is incredibility durable, but everything has its limits. We all know that the high salt content the coastal air speeds up the corrosion of our cars and it’s a similar story with our window frames; they take a serious battering from the elements. UPVC windows and replacement windows far outlast traditional wooden frames on South Coast homes, not to mention do a better job keeping out those niggling drafts or gale force winds!
If your home is in need of replacement windows and you live in the Bournemouth, Poole or Dorset area, simply take the basic measurements and give Double Glazing on the Web a call for expert advice and quotation, without the pushy salesmen.

3 good reasons to choose UPVC windows: security, durability and low maintenance.
If you are looking for a good reason to choose UPVC over wooden frames then security could be a deciding factor. Add to that the fact that UPVC windows are a lot less maintenance than other frames, requiring only the occasional wipe down with a standard detergent. Finally, wherever you live in the country, UPVC windows are considerably more durable when it comes to withstanding the elements and bearing up against the harsh UK weather.
I could go on to mention energy efficiency, cost, ease of installation, noise reduction … but if you’re only looking for 3 reasons, security, durability and low maintenance are very good places to start. Find out more about UPVC windows on the Double Glazing on the Web website.
