Sash windows in West Kensington

Around West Kensington you will mostly find Victorian terraces, Edwardian mansion flats and council 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. Landlords of converted period buildings benefit from sash replacements that reduce draughts and maintenance calls, but should confirm any planning conditions affecting the frontage first.

The A4 West Cromwell Road and Talgarth Road carry heavy traffic through the south of the area, and homes near them benefit from acoustic glazing. Large redevelopment on the former Earls Court site has also brought building work nearby. Some streets fall within conservation areas, so we check those, and we talk to freeholders early when flats are involved.

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
