Sash windows in IG8

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.

The M11 and the High Road cut through, so traffic noise affects some streets more than others. Bigger houses usually mean more bay windows, French doors and wide rear openings. We are about 2.7 miles away in Edmonton and can bring samples to the survey.

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.

• Matched to original proportions and glazing bars
