Sash window specialists for Plymouth’s period properties
A lot of period properties in Plymouth still have their original box sash windows, often in poor working order. Being right on the coast, Plymouth gets a lot of salt-laden Atlantic wind and rain, which noticeably shortens the life of untreated hardware and seals, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss. Plymouth’s city centre was largely rebuilt after heavy wartime bombing, while areas like Stonehouse and Devonport retain older Victorian terraces, 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 Plymouth? Often yes, but the Barbican and areas around the Hoe have conservation status protecting their historic character, 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 Plymouth? 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.
