Across London
Sash windows by borough
London is a city of sash windows. From the Georgian terraces of Bloomsbury to the Victorian streets that run for miles across Hackney and Haringey, the sliding sash is part of how London looks. We've installed thousands across the capital, and the work shifts with the neighbourhood, property or conservation rules. Below are the boroughs where our work is most concentrated, but we're on the road across all 32.
Featured boroughs
Hackney
Hackney is where we do more sash work than anywhere else in London. The Victorian terraces of Stoke Newington, Dalston, Hackney Central, Clapton and London Fields are the backbone of our calendar.
Haringey
Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Highgate and Tottenham each have their own period character; Edwardian villas, late-Victorian terraces, the steep streets climbing toward Alexandra Palace. We're particularly busy in the conservation areas around Crouch End and Muswell Hill.
Islington
Islington's Georgian and early-Victorian housing, the Canonbury squares, the Barnsbury terraces, the streets around Highbury Fields, all set a different bar. It's exacting work and we like it.
Westminster
From Pimlico's Cubitt terraces through Marylebone's Georgian streets up to the mansion blocks of St John's Wood and Maida Vale, much of our Westminster work is on listed buildings. The joinery has to disappear into the original; period detail, period section, modern performance.
Camden
Camden runs from Bloomsbury north through Kentish Town and Belsize Park to the villas of Hampstead and Primrose Hill. Hampstead in particular holds some of the finest surviving Georgian and early-Victorian sashes in London, and we treat them accordingly.
Tower Hamlets
Two worlds in one borough. The Spitalfields silk-weavers' houses around Fournier Street and Princelet Street are some of the oldest domestic sash windows still in daily use in London. The Victorian terraces of Bow, Mile End and Stepney make up the bulk of our day-to-day.
Kensington and Chelsea
Some of the most exacting conservation work in London sits here. The white stucco terraces of South Kensington, the painted brick of Notting Hill and the garden squares of Chelsea are almost all listed or in conservation areas, so the borough holds sash detailing to a fine standard. Slim glazing bars, traditional putty lines and timber matched to the original are the norm rather than the exception on the houses we work on around Holland Park, Ladbroke Grove and the King's Road.
Other boroughs
The featured boroughs are where the volume sits, and where we've got the most photography, but that doesn't mean we haven't installed thousands of sash windows South of the river. A job in Bromley gets the same survey, the same conversation and the same service as a job in Hackney.

Timber by specialists
Timber sash windows, made for London homes
Bespoke timber sash windows for London’s period and conservation properties, made to measure and fitted by carpenters and finished by decorators who have been with us for many years.
The timber we use
We specify engineered timber and Accoya rather than solid timber or cheap composites. More stable through London’s damp winters, and far longer-lasting than composite timber or uPVC.
Built for period & conservation properties
Draught-proofed, double-glazed timber sash windows that meet conservation area and Listed Building requirements while keeping the original look, borough by borough.
Made to measure, fitted by us
Surveyed, made to measure and fitted to the opening it belongs in. We handle your job from start to finish, from fitting to plastering, painting and disposal of the old windows.
Why timber over uPVC
Timber is repaired, repainted and re-glazed for decades; uPVC is replaced. On a period house it also holds heritage value, and the right sashes are an irreplaceable part of the facade.
