Upgrading sash windows across Durham
If your Durham property still has its original sash windows, replacing them properly takes more care than a standard casement job. It’s a university city as much as a historic one, and the mix of ancient streets and student housing makes for varied glazing requirements across the city. A good installer should be able to show you examples of the sightlines before you commit.

- Draught-proofing that addresses the sash box itself, not just the glass.

Frequently asked questions
Will new sash windows need planning permission in Durham? Standard sash replacements usually don’t need planning permission unless the property is listed. Given how much of Durham sits within conservation areas, it’s worth checking before ordering.
Do sash window replacements in Durham have to be timber? No - uPVC and timber-composite sash options can replicate a medieval and Georgian glazing bar pattern at a lower price than solid timber, though timber is usually still preferred where a conservation officer is involved.
How many panes do original sash windows in Durham typically have? It varies by period, but many medieval and Georgian sashes were built with a six-over-six or two-over-two pane arrangement - matching that pattern matters more to the overall look than people expect.
