Windows & doors in York
Do you work in York?
Yes. We work across York — in the historic city, its conservation areas and the surrounding villages — including Cortizo Cor Vision sliding doors on a York home.
Who installs windows in York?
Windows in the Dales is a Yorkshire replacement window and glazing company working for homeowners, builders, architects and developers in York and the surrounding area. We supply and install aluminium windows, heritage steel-look aluminium, uPVC flush casements and sliding sashes, and sliding, bifold and entrance doors — surveyed, fitted and signed off by our own teams.
We may suit your York project if
- your house is Georgian and the sash proportions matter
- you have a Victorian or Edwardian house with bays or sashes
- your property is listed and you need honest advice before applying for consent
- your home is in a conservation area and needs a product the planners will accept
Local property character
York has one of the largest concentrations of historic buildings in England: medieval and Georgian streets inside the walls, Victorian terraces and villas beyond them, and a large central conservation area.
Outer suburbs and villages such as Clifton, Fulford, Bishopthorpe and Haxby add inter-war, post-war and modern housing, where extensions and whole-house replacements are common.

Planning & conservation
City of York Council is the planning authority. Much of the city is covered by conservation areas, and there are a great many listed buildings.
Listed buildings need consent for most window changes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights. No replacement material is approved by default. We check the position for the specific address before specifying anything.

Before you choose
- Sash proportions, glazing bars and sightlines matter more in York than almost anywhere else in the region.
- At the rear, where the street isn't affected, contemporary sliding doors often sit comfortably against a period house.

Questions
Can I replace windows in a York conservation area?
Often, but it depends on the property, whether it's listed and whether an Article 4 direction applies. We check before quoting.
Can I have uPVC in York?
On some properties, but not in every setting — particularly listed buildings and sensitive conservation areas. We'll tell you honestly what's likely to be acceptable.
