Where sash fits
Sash windows for terraces, bays and conservation briefs
The meeting rail, horn details and glazing pattern change the character as much as the frame colour.
uPVC sash can suit many replacements; timber remains the choice when authentic material is required. We photograph the existing window and agree the visual brief before pricing.
- Slide operation and balance quality
- Horn, bar and meeting-rail details
- Planning and conservation checks where relevant
- Draught sealing and hardware specified on the quote
Material choice
uPVC sash or timber sash?
uPVC routes reduce upkeep while copying the vertical slide. Timber costs more but suits listed buildings and strict conservation areas.
Compare sightlines, joint detail and finish samples - not just a marketing render.

Questions
Sash replacement questions answered plainly.
Sash window FAQs.
01Do I need planning permission for new sash windows?
Often not for like-for-like replacement, but conservation areas and listed buildings need extra checks. We flag planning questions on survey - see our planning advice article for the usual rules.
02Can uPVC sash look right on a period house?
Modern uPVC sash systems copy horns, bars and proportions closely. The right answer depends on the street, any planning list and the detail you want at the meeting rail.
03What is a sash window?
A vertically sliding window, usually two sashes, used where the elevation needs period proportions rather than a side-hung casement.
04How much do sash windows cost?
Timber, uPVC and aluminium sash routes sit in different bands. We price the material you want on the surveyed opening.
05Can you quote without visiting?
Yes. Send outside photographs, rough sizes and the number of openings for a first written price. The survey then confirms manufacture sizes, access, cills, glass and finishing details before anything is ordered.
