Sash windows in Holland Park

Around Holland Park you will mostly find Victorian stucco villas, large terraced houses 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. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, councils may insist on timber sashes or repair rather than replacement, so check with the planning team before choosing materials.

The Holland Park Conservation Area covers much of the neighbourhood, and the Royal Borough expects replacements on street-facing elevations to match the originals closely. At the back of a house there is often more freedom, which is where slim aluminium sliding or bifold doors onto the garden tend to work well. Holland Park Avenue itself carries heavy traffic, so we often suggest acoustic glazing for front rooms.

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
