Windows and doors in Dudley
We match homeowners in Dudley with one vetted window and door installer covering the DY1, DY2, DY3 postcodes. We are an introducer, not an installer: we do not fit anything and we do not set prices. Your enquiry goes to a single installer, who surveys and quotes directly.
Dudley and the surrounding Black Country towns have an older, denser housing stock than much of the West Midlands, and a history of mining that occasionally matters: ground movement shows up as frames out of square, which is worth identifying before new windows go into a distorted opening.

Housing stock
What Dudley is built of
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are common through Dudley, Netherton and Kate Hill, much of it originally built for workers in the local industries. Inter-war and post-war estate housing covers large parts of the borough, with 1960s and 1970s development around Russells Hall and Priory. Larger detached housing sits around Sedgley and parts of Kingswinford.
Constraints
What you are allowed to fit
Conservation areas include Dudley town centre, Sedgley, Wollaston and parts of Stourbridge. Outside those, most of the borough has normal permitted development rights for window replacement. The Black Country has extensive historic mine workings, and in some areas ground movement has left older openings out of square, which a surveyor should pick up.
Our guides on conservation areas, listed buildings and building regulations cover this in detail.
Postcodes
The districts we cover here
A vetted installer covers the inked districts. Anything outside them and the form will say so rather than take an enquiry we cannot place. The hatched districts are nearby towns we know and have not yet signed an installer for.

What people replace
-
uPVC windows
£400 – £850 fitted
uPVC windows cost £400 to £850 fitted. What separates a good one from a cheap one, what the regulations require, and when uPVC is the wrong choice.
-
Aluminium windows
£600 – £1,250 fitted
Aluminium windows cost £600 to £1,250 fitted. Why the slim sightlines matter, what a thermal break does, and whether the extra over uPVC is worth it.
-
Timber windows
£800 – £1,600 fitted
Timber windows cost £800 to £1,600 fitted. Why modern engineered timber is not the wood you remember, the real maintenance, and when it is compulsory.
-
Casement windows
£400 – £850 fitted
Casement windows are the most common UK style and the cheapest to replace. Side-hung or top-hung, fire escape rules, and flush versus stormproof.
-
Front doors
£900 – £2,350 fitted
A new front door costs £700 to £2,800 fitted. Composite, uPVC, aluminium and timber compared, and why the lock matters more than the door.
-
Composite doors
£900 – £2,350 fitted
Composite doors cost £900 to £2,350 fitted. Solid timber core versus foam, what thickness to ask for, and the security specification worth insisting on.
-
uPVC doors
£700 – £1,400 fitted
uPVC doors cost £700 to £1,400 fitted. Where they make sense, why cheap ones drop on their hinges, and the cylinder upgrade worth paying for.
-
Aluminium doors
£1,400 – £2,800 fitted
Aluminium doors cost £1,400 to £2,800 fitted. Why the material handles tall, heavily glazed doors, and how to match it across the house.

Questions
Questions about Dudley
- Do you cover all of Dudley?
- We cover the DY1, DY2, DY3 postcode districts. If your postcode falls outside those, the form will tell you straight away rather than taking your details.
- How many installers will contact me in Dudley?
- One. We pass your enquiry to a single vetted installer covering your postcode, rather than selling it to several firms who each then ring you.
- Do I need planning permission in Dudley?
- For most properties, replacing windows is permitted development and needs no application. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council holds the conservation area boundaries and any Article 4 directions, and those remove that right where they apply. Listed buildings always need listed building consent.
- Who signs off the building regulations?
- A FENSA, CERTASS or Assure registered installer self-certifies the work and sends you the certificate. If your installer is not registered, you have to apply to Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council building control yourself.
TrustedGlazing does not install windows or doors in Dudley or anywhere else. We are an introducer. The installer we match you with surveys, quotes and contracts with you directly.
