Our own totals over the eleven named Solihull areas record 35,200 properties, 26.1 per cent of them built before 1940 (VOA CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025), and Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council names 20 conservation areas in the borough.
We build a page per product, a page per area and a quote tool that collects the job details before you arrange a survey. Census 2021 records 37.5 per cent of Solihull borough households in semi detached houses and 17.1 per cent in flats (table TS044). Those are two different orders and two different pages. See it live before you pay a penny, live in 7 days.
Our own totals over the eleven named Solihull areas cover 35,200 properties in the Valuation Office stock table CTSOP4.1 at 31 March 2025. 1,050 of them, 3.0 per cent, predate 1919 and 9,190, 26.1 per cent, predate 1940. The published Solihull local authority row is a wider area: 95,980 properties, 3.2 per cent pre 1919 and 19.2 per cent pre 1940.
Inside the town the mix runs a long way apart. Lyndon North records 75.6 per cent built before 1940. Monkspath South records 91.8 per cent built between 1973 and 1999. Across the eleven areas, 38.4 per cent dates from 1945 to 1972 and 22.8 per cent from 1973 to 1999 (VOA CTSOP4.1). Census 2021 table TS044 records 37.5 per cent of Solihull borough households in semi detached houses, 28.5 per cent detached and 17.1 per cent in flats, and table TS054 records 11.5 per cent renting from a private landlord or agency.
We would build that as two routes through the site rather than one services list. One route for the pre 1940 streets, one for the later estates, each carrying the frames and doors you fit there and photographs of the finished openings.

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council describes a conservation area as "an area of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which is worthy of being preserved or enhanced", counts 20 of them in the borough, and states that "A conservation area may also be the subject of an article 4 Direction, which removes further permitted development rights." Its permitted development page tells homeowners to "always seek permission for: flats and maisonettes (other than for satellite dish installation), listed buildings, conservation areas". The page read does not name which areas carry a direction.
The Planning Portal states that planning permission is not usually needed for the "insertion of new windows and doors that are of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the house". It also states that "a new bay window will be treated as an extension and may require permission", and that "If you live in a listed building, you will need listed building consent for any significant works".
On building control the Planning Portal states that "Since 1 April 2002 building regulations have applied to all replacement glazing". It sets out two routes: "an installer registered with the relevant competent person scheme", who provides a certificate on completion, or an unregistered installer or do it yourself, "in which case approval can be sought from the relevant Building Control Body".
We would explain how you check the conservation boundary, any Article 4 direction and the proposed work before confirming whether permission is needed. The same page would name the competent person scheme you are registered with and what its certificate covers.
The local field, 17 September 2026
We counted the Google Maps results for window fitters in Solihull on 17 September 2026. The sample was 40 listings: 14 were window or door firms with a Solihull postal address, and all 14 listed a website. One glass merchant and one national brand showroom with Solihull addresses were counted separately, two window cleaning firms and two vehicle glass firms with Solihull addresses were left out as a different trade, three rows carried no address at all, and the remainder gave addresses in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Worcester, Kidderminster and Telford.
That is one dated sample of one search. What we would do with it is give Lyndon North, Olton, Ulverley Green, Sharmans Cross and Monkspath a page each, carrying the openings you have finished in them.

The nearest build of ours you can open
A driveways firm rather than a window firm, with a page per job, a page per area and the estimate tool on every page. The window and door version has the same bones.
What every window and door fitting site needs, whatever the town, is on our window fitters page.
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council counts 20 conservation areas in the borough and states that one may also be the subject of an article 4 Direction, which removes further permitted development rights. The page we read does not name which areas carry one. Your page would set out that you check the boundary and any direction before confirming what a job needs.
