Bay window quotes across Oxford

In North Oxford, canted timber bays sit on many of the late-Victorian villas. Legacy Windows is a comparison service linking you to FENSA or CERTASS bay specialists across OX1 to OX4.

Areas we cover around Oxford
Bay enquiries concentrate in East Oxford, Cowley, Headington, Marston, Iffley Village and North Oxford. On the 1930s Cowley and Headington semis, a straightforward UPVC three-light bay is the standard job. On North Oxford villas and East Oxford Victorian terraces, timber or timber-effect frames with heritage glazing bars are usually required. We also cover nearby Abingdon, Bicester, Witney, Banbury and Didcot.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Listed Building Consent for a bay in Oxford? If your property is listed, yes — always. Inside a conservation area on an unlisted property, planning consent is normally needed for any street-facing bay change. Oxford City Council’s conservation officer generally requires timber, the original mullion pattern and the original glazing bar spacing.
Is a bay replacement structural work? Sometimes. On Victorian villas with a load-bearing bay board, a structural engineer’s calculation is required and Oxford building control will inspect. FENSA does not cover that element.
How long does an average bay job take? On a like-for-like UPVC replacement with a sound bay board, five to eight hours. A full timber conservation-approved bay with fresh flashing can take two to four days.
