About the service

Sliding sash windows are the architectural signature of British period properties — Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian terraces, townhouses, and cottages. Original timber sashes often suffer from rot, draughts, rattle, and single-glazed inefficiency. S&K Glazing manufactures and installs replacement sash windows that match the original sightlines, glazing bar layouts, and sash horn profiles, but deliver modern U-values from 1.3 W/m²K and acoustic reductions up to 42dB. Available in engineered timber or slim-profile uPVC for conservation areas where uPVC has been approved.

Sash Window Replacement · Kensington & Chelsea

Working in Kensington & Chelsea

Kensington and Chelsea's grand Georgian and Victorian houses and stucco terraces demand the highest standards in glazing — bespoke timber sashes, slimline secondary glazing for listed buildings, and discreet acoustic upgrades for Heathrow flight-path properties. We work extensively across SW1, SW3, SW5, SW7 and W8.

For heritage and listed-property work in Kensington & Chelsea, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Greater London council's conservation area rules and listed-building consent requirements, using putty-glazed timber sashes, slim-sightline secondary glazing systems that sit invisibly behind original primary glazing, and steel-window restoration for Crittall-style frames. Most commonly we're working across SW1, SW3, SW5 and SW7 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for London conservation areas.

Our process

How we deliver in Kensington & Chelsea

01

Heritage survey

We measure the original sash, photograph architectural details (horns, beading profiles, glazing bar widths) and confirm conservation status with your local authority where applicable.

02

Bespoke manufacture

Each replacement sash is manufactured to your exact original dimensions and profile. Timber units use engineered redwood or accoya with factory micro-porous paint. uPVC units use slim heritage profiles.

03

Sash-by-sash installation

Installation works elevation by elevation, typically 1-2 sashes per day. We retain original architraves and reveal mouldings wherever possible.

FAQs

Common questions

Yes — modern replacement sashes use double or triple glazing with warm-edge spacers, draught-stripping, and insulating timber frames. Whole-window U-values from 1.3 W/m²K are achievable while keeping authentic appearance.
Inside a Conservation Area or for Listed Buildings, yes — you'll need Listed Building Consent or sometimes planning permission. We handle the application drawings and specifications. For most non-listed homes, replacement falls under permitted development.
Sometimes — slim-profile heritage uPVC sashes with authentic glazing bars and horns are accepted in many (not all) conservation areas. We check with your local conservation officer before quoting.
