Sash Windows in Stevenage: what it costs and what to expect
Sash windows slide vertically rather than hinging outward, and they’re the standard choice on Georgian and Victorian properties where the proportions matter as much as the performance. In Stevenage, that means working with purpose-built New Town housing from the late 1940s onward around a pedestrianised centre, plus the older Stevenage Old Town nearby. The original New Town houses were built to fairly standardised specifications, which usually makes measuring and quoting for replacements more predictable than in older, irregular housing stock. We quote against the property in front of us rather than a generic price list, so Stevenage jobs are measured and priced individually.
Why locals choose us
- Spring or weight-and-pulley balance mechanisms to match how the originals operated, so the windows still feel authentic to use
- Draught-proofing brush seals fitted into the box frame, which on older sashes often makes the single biggest difference to comfort
- The first of the post-war New Towns, designated in 1946, with a distinct Old Town/New Town split, which shapes a fair bit of the Stevenage housing stock we work on
- Timber or foiled timber-effect frame options for properties where planning or conservation rules rule out uPVC
- Free, no-obligation quotes with a written price before any work is booked in

Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for sash windows in Stevenage? Most like-for-like sash replacements on non-listed buildings don’t need planning permission, but listed buildings and conservation areas often have extra restrictions on materials and glazing bar pattern - check with the local council first.
Can sash windows be double glazed without losing the period look? Yes - modern slimline double-glazed units are built into a sash profile that matches the original glazing bar spacing and sightlines, so from the street they look very close to the single-glazed original.
Are sash windows more expensive to fit in Stevenage than standard casements? Generally yes - the box frame construction, balance mechanism and often-bespoke sizing on period properties push sash windows above standard casement pricing, even before any conservation-area requirements are factored in.
