Sash windows in Barkingside

Homes in Barkingside are mostly 1930s semis, terraces, bungalows and flats above shops. Some 1920s houses have sash windows alongside bays, so note whether the bay sashes slide or are fixed before deciding how closely to match the original arrangement.

Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have two-over-two or one-over-one sashes with horns, and matching that pattern exactly keeps the front elevation consistent with neighbouring houses. In mansion blocks, sash replacement is often controlled by the freeholder or managing agent, so get written approval of the glazing pattern and material before ordering.

The jobs we see most often here are swapping tired 1980s and 1990s uPVC for modern A-rated windows, rebuilding bays, and adding a new porch or composite front door. Each frame is made to measure in our Edmonton factory, about 5.6 miles away, and fitted by the same team that surveyed it.

Sliding sash windows open vertically and give period homes their familiar look, with balanced sashes, horns and glazing bars. We make replacement sash windows to match original proportions, suiting owners of Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian properties who want better insulation and security without losing traditional character.
