Sash window specialists for Leicester’s period properties
If you’re dealing with draughty, hard-to-open sash windows in Leicester, you’re not alone. The city has one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the UK and a long manufacturing history behind much of its older housing, so sash window specialists here need to understand both the mechanics and the look expected on these streets. Conservation areas around Stoneygate and the New Walk cover some of the city’s grander Victorian terraces, which is exactly the kind of area where sympathetic sash replacement or refurbishment matters most.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Leicester? Often yes, but conservation areas around Stoneygate and the New Walk cover some of the city’s grander Victorian terraces, so slimline double-glazed units that replicate the original glazing bars are usually the way through rather than a standard modern sash.
Is it better to repair or replace old sash windows? If the timber frame itself is sound, draught-proofing and mechanism repairs are usually cheaper and can be enough. Full sash replacement makes more sense once the frame has rotted or the sash cords have failed repeatedly.
How long does sash window replacement take in Leicester? A single sash window usually takes half a day including making good the surrounding plaster or woodwork, though full-house jobs on larger period properties take longer.
