Sash windows in Gants Hill

Homes in Gants Hill are mostly 1930s semis, terraces, bungalows 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.

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.

Homes close to the A12 can hear traffic at all hours, which is why acoustic glazing comes up so often in our conversations with Gants Hill households. We also rebuild tired bay windows to their original shape so they stay square and weathertight. From our factory the trip is about 5.1 miles, along the North Circular.

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.

• Traditional look with modern weather sealing
• Matched to original proportions and glazing bars
