Sash Windows in Maida Vale

Maida Vale's Timber Window Specialists

Maida Vale is characterised by grand Victorian mansion blocks and substantial red-brick Edwardian mansion flats, interspersed with elegant stucco-fronted houses along the canal. The area around Elgin Avenue and Randolph Avenue features impressive late-Victorian townhouses with tall sash windows, while Little Venice — where the Grand Union and Regent's Canals meet — offers picturesque Georgian and Regency properties with original timber frames. At Prime Sash Windows, we manufacture bespoke timber sash windows that honour Maida Vale's heritage while delivering modern thermal and acoustic performance.

Westminster City Council designates Conservation Areas across Maida Vale, including the Maida Vale, Paddington Green, and Little Venice areas. Planning controls are strict, particularly on the grander properties. We produce windows with the tall proportions and slender glazing bars that Westminster's conservation officers require, using traditional construction methods and premium timber.

Why Maida Vale 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 Maida Vale

Maida Vale'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.
