Sash Windows in Cambridge

Cambridge's Timber Window Specialists

Cambridge pairs historic college buildings with sought-after Victorian neighbourhoods. The tree-lined streets of Newnham and the De Freville area, the riverside terraces near Midsummer Common, and the popular Mill Road and Romsey districts are characterised by bay-fronted Victorian houses with traditional timber sash windows. Conservation here calls for authentic profiles and slim sightlines that match the original joinery.

Cambridge's conservation areas include the Central area, West Cambridge, De Freville, Riverside, and Brooklands Avenue. Period homes within them require like-for-like replacements with slim meeting rails and historically correct glazing bars.

Why Cambridge Homeowners Choose Us

Every window is manufactured in our workshop near London from engineered Accoya or premium hardwood. Accoya is guaranteed for 50 years against rot and fungal decay — far outlasting uPVC, which typically degrades within 20 to 25 years and cannot be repaired.

• Slimline double glazing — 4/16/4 sealed units with warm-edge spacer bars. U-value 1.4 W/m²K. Part L compliant.
• PAS24 security — multi-point espagnolette locking on all opening sashes.
• Traditional lead weights — we never use spring balances. Smoother operation, longer lifespan.
• Any colour — over 2,000 RAL colours and the full Farrow & Ball range. Dual colour available.
• 4–5 week delivery — manufactured in our UK workshop, not imported. Standard configurations delivered in 4–5 weeks.
• FENSA registered — Building Regulations self-certification and certificate on completion.

Every window is spray-finished with premium Sikkens coatings — a multi-coat system including primer, undercoat, and topcoat for a flawless, lasting finish.

Conservation Areas in Cambridge

Cambridge's Conservation Areas require careful attention to original window details. Listed buildings and protected properties need like-for-like replacements with specific glazing bar profiles, horn details, and putty-line sightlines. We produce windows with authentic slim meeting rails, ovolo or chamfer beading profiles, and run-through horns that match original period detailing.

We handle the paperwork too. Where planning permission is required, we supply detailed drawings and specifications. For most replacements in non-listed properties, our FENSA registration means no separate Building Control application is needed.

What We Offer

• Box sash windows — traditional double-hung sash windows with cords and lead weights.
• Casement windows — flush casement and stormproof designs for Arts and Crafts and modern properties.
• Slim Georgian bars — authentic planted or run-through glazing bars.
• Arched and shaped windows — gothic, segmental, and true-arch heads.
• Secondary glazing — for Listed buildings where external changes are restricted.
