Sash windows in Oakwood

The housing in Oakwood is largely 1930s semis, detached houses and purpose-built maisonettes. 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 larger period houses with many sashes, prioritise the most draughty or damaged windows first, and record the glazing bar layouts so later phases match exactly. 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.

Many owners here want to keep the 1930s character, so we can add Georgian bars or leaded designs to new casements and rebuild bays to their original shape. Our Edmonton factory is about 4.7 miles away, so fitting days and any follow-up visits are easy to schedule.

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.
