Sash windows in Ilford

Around Ilford you will mostly find Edwardian terraces with bays, 1930s semis and town-centre 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.

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. 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.

Traffic on the A12 Eastern Avenue and the busy railway through Ilford station mean acoustic glazing is worth thinking about on some roads. We travel about 6 miles from Edmonton and handle the survey, manufacture and installation ourselves.

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.
