Sash Window Specialists in Aylesbury
An ageing sash does not always need replacing. We assess its frame, glazing and sliding mechanism before recommending new windows or restoration. Replacement work covers timber, heritage uPVC and composite options, with the proportions and finish specified for the building.
For existing windows, restoration includes frame repairs, glazing replacement, hardware refurbishment and draught-proofing. Radley brings more than 25 years of period-property experience to each survey, including listed buildings and conservation areas. Browse our window range for other styles, or arrange a sash consultation to discuss the work.
Traditional Character With Modern Comfort
The shape of a sash window helps define a period frontage. Our installations retain that character through traditional proportions, glazing patterns and sliding operation, while modern frames, seals and locking make the windows comfortable and secure in use.
Key Sash Window Benefits
Our modern sash range combines A-rated efficiency, improved security and traditional sliding operation. Conservation-sensitive designs are specified around each property’s approved materials, proportions and finishes.
Period character with modern comfort
Sash Window Styles Available
Georgian Sash Windows
Six-over-six or eight-over-eight glazing creates the ordered appearance associated with Georgian properties, with proportions chosen to complement the existing frontage.
Traditional box frames, substantial glazing bars, period hardware and historic colours give the finished window its characteristic detail.
Victorian Sash Windows
Larger panes and slimmer glazing bars bring a lighter appearance to Victorian sashes, with two-over-two or four-over-four layouts.
Refined fittings, balanced proportions and period colours complete the design without unnecessary decoration.
Edwardian Sash Windows
Edwardian styles combine vertical sliding operation with larger glass areas and restrained detailing for early twentieth-century properties.
Minimal glazing bars, effective weather seals and modern glazing bring practical improvements without losing the period appearance.
Sash Window Materials
Traditional Timber
Authentic hardwood sash windows, traditionally constructed and specified for period properties, listed buildings and conservation projects.
Heritage uPVC
Timber-look uPVC combines period styling, modern insulation and straightforward upkeep without the regular repainting of timber.
Composite Options
Composite sash windows combine traditional appearance, modern performance and reduced upkeep, with designs specified around conservation requirements.
Planning Support for Sash Window Projects
Radley provides planning and listed building application support, helping establish the permissions and supporting information needed before window work begins.
