Hi, Bob,
I haven't found too much detailed info on the Internet. I can probably help
you if you let me have the dimensions and styles of windows and doors you
need, and whether stormproof or traditional.
If you're in UK, be aware that you should obtain planning permission to
change your windows as from April last year, even changing like for like.
But I won't tell them if you don't...
Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Frank!!
I'll check with planning about the styles and get back to you. To date I've
only spoken with them about the practicalities of adapting the building for
modern usage. Their concerns so far have been on render type, slate type
etc. I've found them to be informative have a common sense approach once
you're own approach is to retain the style and renovate rather than
reconstruct.
All the best,
Bob C

Geez, you have to obtain permission from the government to replace a
rotted-out window? Somebody in your government doesn't have nearly enough
to do.

Aye, you said a mouthful, there, John. The logic is that the replacement
windows will be in keeping with the appearance of the property. You
wouldn't want to see aluminium windows on a 300-year-old timber-framed
thatched cottage, to take an extreme example.
However, it does seem to be a uniquely British failing that we create all
these legislative hurdles for ourselves - or the Eurocrats in Brussels do it
for us - and then we tax ourselves to the hilt to employ an army of
jobsworths to ensure that the rules are complied with. Then we get to pay
them again for the planning permission. (around 95 GBP at the moment) Then
we get to pay again for the inspector to come out and check up on the job (a
friend just paid 220 GBP to have the footings for his new extension
inspected). And they do check assiduously, and if you've deviated from the
approved plan, they're very likely to make you tear it out and do it over.
For which you'll have to pay them again to come and re-check....
I feel a need to rant, so best I just go and have a pint or two instead....
Cheers,
Frank
