Casement windows in Hampstead Garden Suburb

The housing in Hampstead Garden Suburb is largely Arts and Crafts houses, cottages and early 20th-century flats. On larger houses, mixing side-hung and top-hung casements helps balance ventilation and views, and matching sightlines across fixed and opening panes keeps elevations tidy.

In upper-floor flats, we recommend restrictors and easy-clean hinges so outward-opening casements can be cleaned safely from inside without leaning out of the window. Where a conservation area expects slim traditional joinery, a flush casement with putty-style beads looks closer to the original than a standard storm casement.

Before any work, the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust usually needs to give consent, and the area is a conservation area under Barnet Council. We review the Trust's design guidance with you at survey, so drawings and quotes are prepared with approval in mind.

Casement windows are hinged at the side or top and open outwards, making them the most common window style in British homes. We make them to measure in uPVC and aluminium, and they suit almost any property, from terraces and semis to flats and modern houses.

• Side or top hung to suit each opening
• Opens wide for ventilation and cleaning
• Escape hinges available for upper floors
