Sash window specialists for Oxford’s period properties
Sash windows are common across the older parts of Oxford, and they need a different approach to a standard casement job. As a world-famous university city, Oxford has very high property values and correspondingly strong protections on its historic streetscape, so sash window specialists here need to understand both the mechanics and the look expected on these streets. Conservation controls across central Oxford and around the colleges are some of the strictest in the country, 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 Oxford? Often yes, but conservation controls across central Oxford and around the colleges are some of the strictest in the country, 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 Oxford? 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.
