Why Choose Faron for Conservation Area Windows in Crawley?
Which Areas of Crawley Are Conservation Areas?
Crawley Borough Council lists 13 conservation areas. They are Brighton Road, Dyers Almshouses, Forestfield and Shrublands, Gossops Green Neighbourhood Centre, Hazelwick Road, High Street, Ifield Village, Malthouse Road, Queens Square and The Broadway, Southgate Neighbourhood Centre, St Peters, Sunnymead and Worth. Check the council map or ask its planning team to see whether your home sits inside one.
What Do Conservation Area Windows Mean for Your Home?
The council states that planning controls are tightened in conservation areas. As a result, changes to the outside of a home can need extra checks. The exact rules depend on your property, so always ask before you order. Listed buildings also need listed building consent. Read more in our guide to listed building windows in Crawley. We never start work until you are sure what applies to your home.
Can You Fit Double Glazing in Conservation Area Windows?
Many owners of older homes choose double glazing to cut heat loss and draughts. Modern double-glazed units can be made in styles that suit traditional properties. Slim profiles, carefully chosen finishes and appropriate detailing help windows blend with older architecture. However, the council decides what is acceptable in a conservation area, so confirm your plans with it first.
Which Window Styles Suit Conservation Area Windows in Crawley?
We fit made-to-measure uPVC windows in several styles. Flush sash windows give a traditional look, which suits many older properties. Casement windows open outwards and seal tightly when closed. Tilt and turn windows are easy to clean. Because frames are made to measure, they fit your openings exactly. That avoids gaps and draughts around the edges.
How Do You Check the Rules Before You Order?
Follow a few simple steps. First, find out whether your address is in one of the 13 areas. Next, ask Crawley Borough Council planning team what applies to your property. Then ask for the answer in writing. Finally, tell us at your free quote, so we can plan the work around it.
How Does FENSA Registration Work?
We are a FENSA-registered installer, so we self-certify our window work. This means you do not need a separate Crawley Borough Council building control application. Once we register the installation, you receive a certificate. Keep it with your house documents. New windows in England must also meet Part L of the Building Regulations, which sets minimum standards for the conservation of fuel and power. Read more about your FENSA certificate in Crawley.
