Sash windows in East Acton

The housing in East Acton is largely early-1900s cottage estate homes, interwar semis and newer flats. 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.

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. 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 A40 Western Avenue runs along the northern edge and brings constant traffic noise, so acoustic double glazing is often worth it for front rooms there. The area straddles the Ealing and Hammersmith & Fulham boundary, and the Old Oak Estate is a conservation area, so we confirm which council is responsible and what it expects before quoting. Our factory is about 11.1 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.
