Sash windows in Cockfosters

Homes in Cockfosters are mostly 1930s semis, detached houses and purpose-built flats. 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.

On larger period houses with many sashes, prioritise the most draughty or damaged windows first, and record the glazing bar layouts so later phases match exactly. 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.

That is why bifold and sliding doors are popular requests, often alongside a full set of replacement windows and a new composite front door. We make all of these in Edmonton, about 5.5 miles away. The person who measures your home works with the team who builds and fits it, so nothing gets lost in between.

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.
