For windows and doors in Barnsley, L&D are a short drive away in Hoyland, just south of the town. Luke and Dale have fifteen years in the trade and their own company since April 2026, and they do every part of a job themselves: the visit, the measuring, the price and the fitting. Their 19 Google reviews are all five stars.
Barnsley is a big borough with a lot of different houses in it. Brick terraces and semis make up much of the town and the old pit villages to the east. Further west, towards Penistone and the hills, there is more stone, and the weather comes in harder. A window that suits one is not always right for the other, which is why nothing is ordered until it has been seen.
Do you need planning permission to replace windows in Barnsley?
For most houses, no. The Planning Portal says new windows and doors on a house do not usually need planning permission if they look similar to the ones the house was built with. A new bay window is the exception: it counts as an extension and may need permission.
The answer changes in three cases.
- A listed building. Listed building consent is needed for any significant work, inside or out. You can check whether a house is listed on Historic England's online list.
- A conservation area. Barnsley has 18 of them. Three are in the town itself: Regent Street, Church Street and Market Hill; Victoria Road; and Huddersfield Road. The rest take in places such as Worsbrough, Darfield, Cawthorne, Penistone, Thurlstone and Elsecar. The council says permission may be needed in a conservation area for work such as putting in new windows.
- A flat. If you own a flat on a lease, the windows may belong to the freeholder, and you may need their permission or the management company's before anything changes.
How do you choose between window firms in Barnsley?
Most people get two or three prices for a job like this, and they should. The prices are hard to compare on their own, so it helps to ask every firm the same few questions.
Are you a builder or renovating a house in Barnsley?
Not every job comes straight from a homeowner. Luke and Dale also take on the glazing on building and renovation work, where they are one trade among several on a site. On those jobs what matters is arriving on the day the openings are ready, fitting, and leaving the site clean for the next trade. If you are running a job in Barnsley and need the windows and doors done, ring and talk it through.
