Sliding sash windows in Chalfont St Giles
A Chiltern village built around its green, where the older cottages set the tone for the whole street. We survey, supply and fit here.
What is built in Chalfont St Giles
Chalfont St Giles is arranged around a village green with the church at one end, and the buildings facing it are the oldest in the parish: timber framed and brick cottages, some of them small scale and low, with modest window openings that were never uniform. Behind and around that core the village has grown through the twentieth century with detached and semi-detached houses on larger plots, and the contrast between the two is sharp within a few hundred metres.
What that means for your windows
On the older cottages the openings are the problem and the survey is the answer. They are rarely square, rarely repeat, and rarely the size anyone assumes from the ground, so a made to measure window built to a surveyed size is the only version of this job that ends well. On the newer housing the brief is usually plainer, and the argument is performance: an A plus energy rating, concealed trickle vents that meet the ventilation requirement without a plastic bar across the head of the window, and both sashes tilting in for cleaning.
Two ways to buy in Chalfont St Giles
Chalfont St Giles 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 Chalfont St Giles
The window openings in our cottage are all slightly different sizes. Is that a problem?
It is normal in a house of that age and it is exactly what the survey is for. Every window is made to the measured size of its own opening rather than to a standard, so the frame fills the gap without packing it out. On a fitted order we take those measurements ourselves, which also moves the risk of a wrong size off you.
Can the windows be a different colour inside and out?
Yes. Dual colour is available, so you can have a darker or heritage shade facing the street and white or a lighter shade facing the room. Any classic RAL colour can be sprayed and Farrow and Ball shades can be matched.
