Sliding sash windows in Ealing
The Queen of the Suburbs, and still one of the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian suburbs in London.
What is built in Ealing
Ealing's reputation was built on its housing and it still holds: long consistent streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semi-detached villas, generously proportioned, with bays to the ground floor and tall sash openings above, spread through Ealing itself and out into Northfields, West Ealing and Hanwell. Several conservation areas cover the best preserved streets, and the borough also holds substantial interwar development further out.
What that means for your windows
Consistency is the defining feature and the constraint. These streets read as a single composition, so a window out of proportion on one house is visible along the whole terrace, and the pane divisions, the sightline and the bay geometry are what hold it together. The bay is the part most often mishandled, and it wants measuring as one unit rather than as separate windows. Acoustic glass is worth pricing on anything facing the main roads.
Two ways to buy in Ealing
Ealing 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 Ealing
Are there conservation areas in Ealing that affect window replacement?
Yes, several cover the better preserved streets, and the position varies between them. Conservation area status does not automatically rule out replacement, but the council will normally want the original proportions kept. Ask them before ordering and we will specify to what they will accept.
How is a Victorian bay measured?
As a single unit at survey, not as separate windows, because the angles, the returns and the way the frames meet are what decide whether the bay looks right afterwards. The surveyor also checks whether anything above the bay is being carried by the frames, since that changes how the job is sequenced.
