Sash windows in E4

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. 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.

Matching those original bay shapes and glazing patterns is the main thing most E4 homeowners ask about, often alongside a stronger, more secure front door. The Chingford branch railway and the level crossing at Highams Park bring some noise. Our workshop is around 1.7 miles away, just over the Lea 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.

• Traditional look with modern weather sealing
