Sash windows in Wanstead

Around Wanstead you will mostly find Edwardian and 1930s semis, detached houses and low-rise flats. 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. On larger period houses with many sashes, prioritise the most draughty or damaged windows first, and record the glazing bar layouts so later phases match exactly.

We can make leaded or Georgian-bar designs and porches to match. The Wanstead village area is a conservation area, so we check with Redbridge Council before quoting. The A12 runs nearby, in a tunnel under part of the area, but homes near the open sections and the North Circular still get traffic noise. We are about 3.5 miles from Wanstead.

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
