Sash windows in Forest Gate

The housing in Forest Gate is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces, villas and converted flats. 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. 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 period terraces we tend to recommend sash-style windows or flush casements that keep the original lines, alongside a composite front door in a traditional style. If you live close to Romford Road or the Elizabeth line, acoustic glazing to the front bedrooms is worth a look. The journey from Edmonton is about 4.9 miles, so a survey is easy to book.

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.
