Sliding sash windows in Beaconsfield
Two quite different towns share the name, and they want two different windows. We survey before anything is ordered.
What is built in Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield is really two settlements. The Old Town is Georgian and older, built around the crossing of the coaching roads, with formal brick frontages, tall first floor windows and a good deal of protected and listed frontage. The New Town grew after the railway arrived at the start of the twentieth century and is Edwardian and interwar, with large detached and semi-detached houses on wide plots, bay windows to the ground floor and divided upper panes as the standard pattern.
What that means for your windows
In the Old Town the proportions decide everything. A Georgian frontage reads as a grid, and a replacement that thickens the frames or loses the pane divisions is obvious from across the road, so we specify the glazing bar layout and sightlines to match what is there. In the New Town the more common job is a bay that has been let go, where the frames are sound enough to look fine from the pavement and are quietly costing a fortune in heat. Both are surveyed by us before an order is placed.
Two ways to buy in Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield 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.
1.3 W/m²K as standard, 1.2 with enhanced glazing.

Questions we get asked in Beaconsfield
Can you match the windows on an Old Town Beaconsfield frontage?
That is the usual brief there. Georgian bar layouts reproduce the original pane divisions, sightlines are kept slim so the elevation does not look heavier than it did, and the finish can be any classic RAL shade or matched to a Farrow and Ball colour. If the property is listed or in a conservation area, tell us at survey and we will specify accordingly, and confirm the planning position with the local authority before ordering.
Do you replace the bay windows on New Town houses?
Yes, splay and box bays both. The bay is measured as one unit at survey rather than as separate windows, because the angles and the way the frames meet across the front are what decide how it looks afterwards. Getting a surveyor to see it beats estimating from photographs on a bay every time.
