Sash windows in Snaresbrook

The housing in Snaresbrook is largely Edwardian houses, interwar semis and low-rise flats near the forest. 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.

Hollybush Hill and the busy roads towards the North Circular carry a steady stream of traffic, and homes facing them benefit from acoustic glazing. We are about 3 miles from here, so a survey can usually be fitted in within a few days.

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
