Planning in Kent
Do You Need Permission to Replace Windows in Kent?
Usually not, if it’s a house and the new windows look like the old ones. Flats, listed buildings and houses under an Article 4 direction are different: you need consent before you order.
In Kent that decision sits with your district or borough council, not Kent County Council. There are twelve of them: Ashford, Canterbury, Dartford, Dover, Folkestone & Hythe, Gravesham, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Swale, Thanet, Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells. Medway has its own council. The Planning Portal’s local planning authority finder tells you which one covers your postcode.
Conservation areas are common here. Sevenoaks District alone has 41 conservation areas. Being in one doesn’t by itself take away a house’s permitted development rights for windows, but an Article 4 direction does. The government’s Article 4 direction dataset shows them on a map by council. It warns that its data isn’t complete yet, so confirm with your council as well.
| Your home | What you usually need | Where to check |
|---|---|---|
| House, not listed, no Article 4 | No planning permission if the new windows look similar | Planning Portal guide for houses |
| Flat or maisonette | Planning permission | Your district or borough council |
| House under an Article 4 direction | Planning permission | Article 4 map, then your council |
| Listed building | Listed building consent | National Heritage List for England |
If the house is listed, any change to the windows needs listed building consent. Check the address on Historic England’s National Heritage List for England. Applying is free, the council has 8 weeks to decide, and replacing windows without consent is a criminal offence. We supply profile drawings and material specifications for the application, and our page on replacing windows in listed buildings covers the rest.
Get the approval first, then order to the approved drawings. Ordering first and applying later is how people end up with windows the council won’t accept. Building regulations still apply to a full replacement; our standard double glazed windows have a whole-window U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, which meets Part L for replacement windows in England.
Delivery
Delivery to Kent: Lead Time, Cost and Fitting
Each order is made in about 20 working days from order confirmation and deposit, then delivered to your Kent address. Delivery is charged separately and shown on your quote.
We deliver across the county: Canterbury, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, the Medway towns, Thanet and the villages in between. Larger orders may qualify for free delivery.
We don’t install. The windows arrive factory-finished and double glazed, and your own joiner or builder fits them. Your fitter will want the sizes right first time, so read how to measure wooden windows for replacement before you send them over.
Payment is simple: a 50% deposit books production and the other 50% is due on delivery, by bank transfer. Near the county border? See our pages for timber windows in East Sussex and timber windows in Surrey.
Kent projects
Timber Windows We’ve Made for Kent Homes
Two recent Kent jobs show the range: white flush casement windows with top lights for a tile-hung house, and dark-painted 2 over 2 sash windows for a canted bay in Canterbury.
On the tile-hung house the opening casements close flush into the frame, so the elevation looks flat and tidy. That is the whole point of our timber flush casement windows.
The Canterbury bay shows that sashes don’t have to be white. We factory-finish in any RAL or Farrow & Ball colour, so a dark heritage shade is no harder to order than white. Our timber sash windows on weights are the traditional choice for bays like this. More finished jobs are in our project gallery.
Timber and prices
Which Timber Suits a Kent Home, and What Does It Cost?
Engineered pine starts at £449+VAT per window and lasts 25–35 years when maintained. Meranti costs about 20–30% more and lasts 35–45 years. Solid European oak costs £799–1,299+VAT and lasts around 50 years.
| Timber | Construction | Service life (maintained) | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scandinavian pine | 3-layer engineered | 25–35 years | From £449+VAT | Painted windows on sheltered walls |
| Dark Red meranti | 3-layer engineered hardwood | 35–45 years | About 20–30% more than pine | Exposed and coastal walls |
| European oak | Solid | Around 50 years | £799–1,299+VAT | Grain on show, clear or stained |
On the coast, from Whitstable round to Folkestone, choose meranti for sea-facing walls and keep the paint in good order. Our page on weather-resistant timber windows covers treatment and finishes for exposed sites.
If you want natural timber, solid oak windows are the choice. Painting oak means paying for grain nobody sees. Meranti and oak are compared in detail on our hardwood windows page, and every upgrade price is listed under timber window prices.

Timber Windows in Kent: FAQ
Do you install timber windows in Kent?
–
+
No. We are supply only: we make the windows to your sizes, factory-finish and double glaze them, and deliver them to your Kent address. Your own joiner or builder fits them. If you haven’t got a fitter yet, line one up before you order so they can check the openings and the sizes.
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Kent?
–
+
Usually not for a house, if the new windows look similar to the old ones. Flats and maisonettes need planning permission, so do houses under an Article 4 direction, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Your district or borough council decides, not Kent County Council, so check with them before you order.
How much does delivery to Kent cost?
–
+
Delivery is charged separately and shown on your quote, so you see the full cost before you pay the deposit. Larger orders may qualify for free delivery. Windows are made in about 20 working days from order confirmation and deposit, and the balance is paid on delivery by bank transfer.
Do you have a showroom in Kent?
–
+
No. We don’t have showrooms: we sell direct by phone, email and our quote form. Send your sizes and photos and we’ll send a detailed quote within 48 hours. You can see finished jobs, including two in Kent, in our project gallery.
Which timber is best for a coastal home in Kent?
–
+
For sea-facing walls in places like Whitstable, Margate or Folkestone, engineered meranti is the safer choice. It lasts 35–45 years when maintained and costs about 20–30% more than pine. Pine is fine for painted windows on sheltered walls further inland. Whichever you choose, keep the paint in good order.
