Sash windows in Clapton

The housing in Clapton is largely Georgian squares, Victorian villas and terraces, council estates 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.

Clapton Square and the streets around it are a conservation area, and Hackney Council expects windows there to respect the original design. We check before quoting. Lea Bridge Road and Lower Clapton Road both carry heavy traffic, so acoustic glazing helps on the front of the house. Our factory is about 3.5 miles north, along the Lea Valley.

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.

• Matched to original proportions and glazing bars
