Sash windows in Upper Edmonton

Homes in Upper Edmonton are mostly Victorian terraces, interwar houses and council estates around Fore Street. 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.

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.

Streets off Fore Street and Silver Street mix Victorian terraces with interwar council houses and newer flats, and the North Circular and the Overground line bring steady noise to the homes beside them. Acoustic or triple glazing makes a real difference on those roads, while front doors and porches are popular upgrades on the terraces.

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.
