Sash Windows in Northamptonshire
Faithful Georgian and Victorian sash proportions in a modern, spring-balanced frame — with run-through horns, deep bottom rails, astragal bars and tilt-in sashes for cleaning. The right window for a period façade and one of the most requested styles in central London.
Sash Windows designed around ironstone villages, deep reveals and heritage colours that satisfy conservation officers.
Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby and Daventry — we've been fitting windows and doors across Northamptonshire for two decades, with particular experience in ironstone conservation villages.
Northamptonshire's ironstone villages need windows that respect the building — deep reveals, heritage colours, subtle profiles. Our flush casements and painted composite doors have been accepted throughout the county's conservation areas.
Energy-efficient sash windows installed across Northamptonshire achieve whole-window U-values of 0.9–1.4 W/m²K, with the exact frame and glazing specification confirmed after survey.

What sets our sash windows apart in Northamptonshire.
Authentic Period Proportions
Deep bottom rails, run-through sash horns, ovolo detailing and single or two-over-two astragal bars — proportioned from measured drawings of original Georgian and Victorian sashes.
Spring-Balanced Movement
Modern spiral-spring balances replace the traditional cord-and-weight — no rattle, no rot, and the sash stays where you put it for 25+ years.
Tilt-In for Cleaning
Both sashes tilt inward on release catches so the outside of the glass can be cleaned from inside — a necessity in London terraces without rear access.
Heritage Colours
Painswick, Chartwell Green, Cream, Anthracite Grey and Irish Oak in deep-grain foil finishes — colour-fast for 25+ years with no maintenance.
Conservation-Area Approved
Regularly accepted by conservation officers across London and the Home Counties. We prepare drawings and finish samples for your planning officer at no charge.
A+ Modern Performance
Argon-filled A+ glazing, warm-edge spacer bars and PAS 24 security locking — Georgian looks, 21st-century thermal and security performance.

Common questions from Northamptonshire homeowners.
- Will a uPVC sash window be accepted in a conservation area?
- Often, yes — particularly with a timber-effect finish, deep bottom rails, run-through horns and through-frame astragal bars. Success depends on the specific conservation area and officer. We prepare drawings and finish samples at no charge to support planning applications.
- Are they suitable for listed buildings?
- Sometimes — listed-building consent is at the officer's discretion. Where uPVC is refused, we can supply the same profile in painted aluminium or timber-composite. We advise honestly at survey.
- How authentic do modern sash windows look?
- Very. At three paces you would not know — the giveaway on poorly detailed sash windows is thin bottom rails, missing horns and applied (rather than through-frame) glazing bars. We specify all three correctly as standard.
- Do they still rattle like old sash windows?
- No. Modern spiral-spring balances and brush-pile weather seals eliminate the rattle and draught associated with original box-sash windows entirely.
- What distinguishes a well-made sash window?
- Authentic proportions, deep bottom rails, run-through horns, well-balanced movement and correctly detailed glazing bars distinguish a well-made sash. We match these details to the period of the property.
- Can I have double or triple glazing in a sash window?
- Yes — double glazing is standard, and triple glazing is available in a slightly deeper sash. Both keep the authentic external appearance.
