Birmingham specifics

Climate: Urban heat island raises summer peak temperatures; south-facing properties in the city centre benefit from solar-control glazing.

Price driver: Mid-range labour costs; period properties in the south of the city push prices up due to conservation restrictions.

Installers: Large pool of installers across the West Midlands; expect 3-5 week lead times for standard installations.
