WhatsApp usWhat kind of homes are in Dunham Town?
Dunham Town grew as housing for workers on the Dunham Massey estate. The cottages on Woodhouse Lane and School Lane are red brick with modest detailing, often with the upper windows set high under the eaves, and they spread out toward the north end of School Lane. Back Lane has a wider mix, mostly 19th and early 20th century, set further back behind planting. St Mark’s Church and the Axe and Cleaver are on School Lane.
Do I need planning permission for new windows in Dunham Town?
Dunham Town has been a conservation area since 1975, and Trafford reviewed it in 2016. That review proposed an Article 4 direction for named houses on School Lane, Back Lane, Woodhouse Lane and Charcoal Road, which would bring window and door changes there under planning control. We check the current position for your address, and whether the building is listed, before we recommend anything.
Where we work in Dunham Town
Woodhouse Lane, School Lane, Back Lane and Charcoal Road. Dunham Woodhouses, further west, is a separate conservation area, and Bowdon and Altrincham have their own pages.
Choosing windows and doors for a Dunham Town home
Cottage openings are small and set high, so a slim flush casement keeps the proportions where a change is allowed. Later houses can take A+ rated casements with 28mm argon-filled double glazing. Where timber or a repair is the right answer, we say so rather than sell uPVC.
What we plan for in Dunham Town
Composite doors have an Ultion lock and a multi-point locking system, in a plain style that suits the lane. We will tell you how long your job will take at the survey.
School Lane is narrow, with a low brick wall along one side. Tell us where a van can stop without blocking it, and send one photo of the whole front taken from the lane.

Is Dunham Town a conservation area?
Yes. It was designated in 1975 and reviewed by Trafford in 2016. We check what applies to your house before we quote.
Is this the same as Dunham Massey?
Dunham Massey is the parish and the National Trust park. Dunham Town is the village on its north side, and this page covers its lanes.
Can a listed cottage have uPVC?
Usually not. Listed building consent is needed, and we will tell you if uPVC is the wrong product.
Are the windows A+ rated?
Yes. A+ rated, 28mm argon-filled double glazing, with a 15-year guarantee on the installation.
How do I book a survey?
WhatsApp us the lane and a photo of the front. We will tell you how long your job will take at the survey.
