Sash windows in Waltham Abbey

Around Waltham Abbey you will mostly find period town-centre houses, interwar semis and post-war estates. 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.

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. 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.

Period properties in the centre need windows designed to suit their age, while homes near the motorway often benefit from acoustic glazing. Narrow streets in the old town can make van access tricky, so we check this at the survey. Our Edmonton factory is about 5.6 miles away, a short drive across the Lee Valley.

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.
