Sash Window Restoration in Stoke Newington

This property originally featured PVC windows. These modern plastic units ruined the historical appearance of the building. The client contacted us to arrange a full Sash Window Restoration in Stoke Newington. Our task was to remove the plastic frames and manufacture authentic timber replacements.

We constructed a new three-part bay window for the ground floor. We also built three front-facing sashes for the first floor. These were manufactured in our workshop using traditional timber joinery methods. The proportions match the original Victorian specifications exactly.

Repairing the Victorian facade

The new top sashes feature 11mm glazing bars. The bottom sashes use clear glass panes. We fitted the moving units with modern 24mm double glazing. This thick glass reduces traffic noise from the street outside. It also prevents cold air from entering the property during winter.

Every wooden component was finished in a two-tone colour scheme. The interior timber was painted white. The exterior was painted black to contrast with the brickwork. We attached solid brass hardware, including pulleys, locks, and sash lifts.

Completing a proper Sash Window Restoration in Stoke Newington requires precision. The new wooden box frames had to fit the exact brick openings left by the old PVC windows. The final result returned the property to its original 19th-century appearance. The client now benefits from historical aesthetics combined with modern thermal insulation.
