Sash windows in Shoreditch

The housing in Shoreditch is largely warehouse conversions, Georgian terraces and modern apartment blocks. 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.

Newer homes built in a traditional style sometimes have mock sashes, and genuine sliding sashes can replace them where you want a more authentic opening action. Landlords of converted period buildings benefit from sash replacements that reduce draughts and maintenance calls, but should confirm any planning conditions affecting the frontage first.

Noise is a real issue here, from Old Street and Great Eastern Street traffic to late-night bars, so we often recommend acoustic glazing for bedrooms. Access is the other challenge: parking is very limited, and many jobs are in shared buildings, so we arrange delivery times, loading and building management approval well before we arrive.

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.

• Matched to original proportions and glazing bars
• Smooth vertical sliding operation
• Fewer draughts and rattles than worn originals
