West Newcastle homes, landlords and the city's rules
West Denton has been part of the metropolitan district of Newcastle since 1974, so Newcastle City Council is the planning authority. Across the city, semis make up 34.6% of homes, terraces 23.6% and flats 32.3%. Many of those semis and terraces have double glazing that is now ageing, and the usual faults are misted units, failed hinges and tired lock mechanisms. Our hinges, locks and handles and misted double glazing pages explain how each is repaired.
Landlords should know that Newcastle has three Article 4 Directions controlling the change of family homes into small HMOs in parts of the city, and a separate direction restricting 'To Let' boards. Repairing a window or door does not change how a property is used, but it is worth checking with the council before converting a home or putting a board up.
With 27.3% of homes across Newcastle socially rented and 22.8% privately rented, a lot of repair requests come through landlords and housing providers. A dropped door, a key that has started to stiffen or a handle that needs a hard lift is covered on our uPVC door repairs page.
About one in eight Newcastle homes is heated by electricity or a district heat network. In homes like these, draughts around a window can be felt on the bill, and new seals and a properly adjusted sash usually cure them without new frames.
None of these faults is a reason to replace the whole window. Only when a frame is beyond repair do we point people to our replacement windows page. Just over the river we also cover Blaydon. To book, contact us or call.
Typical property in the area: semis, terraces and flats, many owned by landlords and housing providers.

Questions
West Denton questions
My windows have been in for years. Are they too old to repair?
Age alone is not a reason to replace them. If the frame is sound, misted units, worn hinges and tired locks can each be replaced on their own, which costs far less than a new window.
I am a landlord in West Denton. Can you deal with my tenant directly?
Yes. Give us the tenant's contact details and we will arrange access with them, then report back to you on what was found and repaired.
Will fixing draughty windows help with heating costs?
It can help. Worn seals and a sash that no longer closes tightly let warm air out, and renewing the seals or adjusting the hinges usually stops the draught on a sound frame.
Can you fix a door that will not lock today?
If the door cannot be locked and the property is not secure, call our 24 hour emergency line and we will talk through what can be done. Lock faults that are not urgent are booked in as a normal visit.
