Sash windows in Swiss Cottage

Homes in Swiss Cottage are mostly mansion blocks, Victorian houses converted to flats and post-war estates. 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. 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.

The Finchley Road (A41) is one of the busiest roads in North London, so acoustic glazing is often the first thing people ask about. We help agree designs with managing agents or freeholders and plan access and parking in advance, as shared buildings and controlled parking zones make careful planning essential.

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
• Matched to original proportions and glazing bars
• Fewer draughts and rattles than worn originals
