The buildings that make up a city can tell you a lot about its history and the people who’ve shaped it. London is no exception and is famed for the wide variety of buildings – both grand architecture such as St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament, and domestic housing from a range of periods. It’s important that these buildings are well-maintained, which includes investing in replacement sash windows.

London buildings benefit

Every day, replacement sash windows are being fitted to homes and buildings across the capital. Examples of past and future projects in and around London include:

Barra Hall – in the London borough of Hillingdon, Barra Hall is a Victorian building, with a Grade II listing. As such, its refurbishment needed to be overseen by the Listings council to make sure that all work was carried out in sympathy with the building and its surrounding. Replacement sash windows were one of the many items on the list of works and the resulting refurbishment has brought the Hall back to its former glory.

York and Albany Pub – this pub in Camden Town has recently been bought ...
... by Gordon Ramsey for another catering adventure. Originally built in the early 19th century, it was in danger of completely collapsing at one point and needs an expensive makeover before it’s ready to be opened to the public. On the upper floors, there may be a requirement for replacement sash windows so this London pub can make its comeback.

All over London, replacement sash windows are making a difference to buildings. With large-scale refurbishments like those of the Savoy and Connaught hotels, alongside the general London homeowner who just wants to retain a bit of period charm and authenticity, there’s certainly no shortage of enthusiasm about the benefits of replacing sash windows with good quality new workmanship.
