Sliding sash windows in Abingdon
An old Thames market town with a formal centre and a broad belt of Victorian and later housing around it.
What is built in Abingdon
Abingdon has a historic core around the market place and the County Hall, with Georgian brick frontages, older buildings behind them and a protected centre running down to the bridge and the abbey grounds. Beyond that the town holds substantial Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas, particularly on the roads north and west, and extensive twentieth century development including large postwar estates built as the town grew with the research and motor industries nearby.
What that means for your windows
The Victorian and Edwardian belt is the bulk of the work here and it is the stock where a sash replacement gives the most back, because the openings are tall, the elevations were designed around them and the houses are cold. An A plus rating with a 1.3 W/m²K U-value as standard changes a high ceilinged room noticeably. On the busier through roads, acoustic glass on the front elevation is the option that most changes how those rooms feel to live in.
Two ways to buy in Abingdon
Abingdon is inside the area our own fitting teams cover, so you can have the whole job done by one company. You can also buy the windows on their own if you have a builder already, which is how most trade customers order.
- Supplied and fitted. We survey your openings before anything is ordered, so the sizes are our responsibility rather than yours. Our own teams fit, take the old windows away and make good the plaster line, and you get a FENSA certificate and an insurance-backed guarantee on completion.
- Supplied only. You send a schedule of sizes, choose the colour, glass, hardware and glazing bar layout, and the windows are delivered kerbside for your own fitter. Popular with builders, developers, self-builders and landlords. On a supply-only order the sizes are yours, because nobody from our side has seen the openings.

Questions we get asked in Abingdon
Do the windows meet current Building Regulations for replacements?
Yes. The standard specification is 1.3 W/m²K, with 1.2 available on enhanced glazing and 1.4 on the laminated specification, and all three sit inside the 1.4 ceiling that Approved Document L sets for replacement windows. Ventilation is handled through concealed trickle vents to meet Part F.
Who notifies Building Control?
Where we install, the work is registered and a FENSA certificate is issued to you on completion, which is the document a buyer's solicitor asks for at sale. On a supply-only order, notification sits with whoever carries out the installation.
