Sash window specialists for Northampton’s period properties
A lot of period properties in Northampton still have their original box sash windows, often in poor working order. An inland East Midlands climate with no coastal extremes affecting window condition, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss. Northampton’s Victorian terraces were largely built for its shoemaking and leather industry, with 1930s suburbs and newer estates further out, and a lot of those original sash boxes are now decades past their expected working life.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Northampton? Often yes, but conservation areas around the town centre and Abington cover some of the older terraced streets, 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 Northampton? 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.
