Sash windows in Canonbury

Around Canonbury you will mostly find Georgian and early Victorian terraces, squares and converted flats. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, councils may insist on timber sashes or repair rather than replacement, so check with the planning team before choosing materials.

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.

Where a house is listed, replacing the windows may simply not be allowed. Secondary glazing is then the sensible route: it cuts draughts and street noise while the original sashes stay untouched. We talk through both options when we visit, and we are about 4.9 miles away.

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.
