Sliding sash windows in Chalfont St Peter
The largest of the Chalfonts, and mostly a twentieth century village. Survey, supply and fitting, or supply only if you have your own builder.
What is built in Chalfont St Peter
Chalfont St Peter keeps an older core around the church and the river crossing, but the bulk of the village is twentieth century: interwar semi-detached housing along the main roads, and substantial postwar and later estates on the land behind them. It is a larger and busier place than the other Chalfonts, with more through traffic and a wider mix of house types, from modest terraces to large detached houses on the wooded edges toward Gerrards Cross and Chalfont St Giles.
What that means for your windows
This is a village where the sash window is often a choice rather than a replacement of like with like, and where security tends to come up early because of the main road frontages. PAS 24: 2022 is standard, with the option of the Secured by Design specification that satisfies Approved Document Q. An anti-lever bar sits inside the sash, high security cam locks hold both sashes, and key operated restrictors limit the opening to 100mm, which is the detail parents of small children ask about most.
Two ways to buy in Chalfont St Peter
Chalfont St Peter 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.
Secured by Design available, satisfying Document Q.
Equivalent to gusts of up to around 115mph.

Questions we get asked in Chalfont St Peter
How secure are these windows on a ground floor room?
PAS 24: 2022 as standard, and available as a Secured by Design window, which is the police backed specification. There is a bar built into the sash so it cannot be levered open, high security cam locks holding both sashes, blocks at the top of the sash, and toughened glass as standard in both sashes. Aluminium reinforcements are fitted as standard in any window built to the Document Q specification.
Can the windows be limited so a child cannot open them fully?
Yes. Key operated travel restrictors are available and they limit the opening to 100mm. They are worth specifying on any upstairs room a child uses, and they are removable with the key when you want the window fully open.
