Sash Windows for Truro homes
A sash window slides up and down inside its box frame - the classic look on period terraces - and modern double-glazed versions now match that look while cutting draughts and heat loss. In Truro, that means working with Georgian townhouses around the cathedral and Lemon Street, with Victorian terraces further out. Cornwall’s damp, salt-laden coastal climate means seals and drainage matter more here than inland, even this far up the Fal estuary. We quote against the property in front of us rather than a generic price list, so Truro 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
- Cornwall’s only city, built on tin-mining wealth and now the county’s administrative centre, which shapes a fair bit of the Truro housing stock we work on
- Hardware and seals chosen with the local salt-air exposure in mind, not just a standard inland spec
- Free, no-obligation quotes with a written price before any work is booked in

Frequently asked questions
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 Truro 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.
Do I need planning permission for sash windows in Truro? 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.
