White uPVC double glazed window in a brick wall

Telford homes and windows

A new town designated in 1963 and extended in 1968 to take in Wellington, Oakengates and the Ironbridge Gorge. Over a quarter of homes were built between 1965 and 1982, so many are on their second or third set of windows.

Conservation areas and Article 4

Telford & Wrekin has 8 conservation areas. In the town, the main ones are the Severn Gorge (Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale), Wellington, and Horsehay and Spring Village.

Houses in the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site are covered by an Article 4 Direction. Where a house faces a road, river or open space, replacing windows, doors and roof coverings needs planning permission, and the 2012 update added solar panels. Elsewhere in Telford, most homes have no special window restrictions.

Listed buildings

Telford has about 383 listed buildings, more than half of them in the Ironbridge Gorge, including the Iron Bridge itself. Changing windows on a listed building needs listed building consent before any work starts, which is free to apply for. Repairing the existing windows and adding secondary glazing is often the preferred route.

Typical prices

A standard uPVC double glazed window typically costs £450 to £800 fitted, and a three bedroom semi £4,000 to £7,500 in uPVC. Timber sashes, often needed in conservation areas and listed buildings, are about £1,500 to £3,000 each. Windows carry 20% VAT. See our windows price guide.

Good to know in Telford

In the Ironbridge Gorge the Severn reached 7.04 metres at the Buildwas gauge in November 2000, and the Environment Agency lists flooding to property in Ironbridge. Anyone paving a front garden near the river should plan the drainage carefully.
