Windows and Doors in Pott Shrigley

What kind of homes are in Pott Shrigley?

Pott Shrigley is stone cottages, farms and a few larger houses under the hills toward Lyme, with St Christopher’s Church in the middle and Shrigley Hall as the big landmark. Bollington is the town down the hill. The two are not the same survey. A farm set back from the lane is a different opening from a cottage tight to the road.

Do I need planning permission for new windows in Pott Shrigley?

The church and many of the older stone cottages are the addresses we check for listing. A similar replacement on an unlisted house is usually permitted development. A cottage opening onto the lane may still need a like-for-like look even when it is not listed. We check rather than assume. A cottage on the lane is checked on its own, and a house nearer Shrigley Hall is a different brief.

Where we work in Pott Shrigley

Shrigley Road, the church lane, the houses near Shrigley Hall, and the lanes down toward Bollington and Prestbury. That is the ground we cover, up from Bollington rather than the town centre.

Choosing windows and doors for a Pott Shrigley home

Stone cottages suit flush or woodgrain casements, with glazing bars where the old windows had them. Larger houses suit A+ rated casements with 28mm argon-filled double glazing in a dark colour that sits against the stone. White plastic against honey-coloured stone is something we will talk you out of. Cottages that step down the lane often have a different cill height on each floor, so a “full set” is still measured opening by opening. On a cottage the finish follows the stone, and on a house near the hall it follows the larger garden frontage.

What we plan for in Pott Shrigley

Composite doors have an Ultion lock and a multi-point locking system, in a woodgrain finish when the house is stone. French doors are for the garden side, off the lane. We will tell you how long your job will take at the survey.

The lane up from Bollington is narrow. We agree where the van stops before fitting day. Stone cottages often have a low headroom hall, so the route for the old frames is part of the survey, not a surprise on the day. Houses nearer Shrigley Hall sit in larger gardens than the cottages on the lane, and the door style follows that, not a single village slab. Tell us you are in Pott Shrigley rather than Bollington, and where on the lane the van can wait.
