Sliding sash windows in Faringdon
A small stone market town in the Vale, compact enough that the centre sets the tone for the whole place.
What is built in Faringdon
Faringdon is built around its market place in local stone, with seventeenth to nineteenth century frontages, the town hall on its pillars at the centre and a protected historic core. Around that there is Victorian housing in stone and brick, and twentieth century and recent development on the edges toward the Great Coxwell and Highworth sides, where the housing is conventional and the openings regular.
What that means for your windows
In a small stone town the centre is a large proportion of what anyone sees, so work there carries more weight than the number of properties suggests. Stone openings need individual measurement and often a shaped frame at the head. The texture question matters too: against stone, a woodgrain foil reads far better than a flat white frame, and the colour is better chosen standing in front of the building than from a swatch.
Two ways to buy in Faringdon
Faringdon 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 Faringdon
Can you supply windows for a barn or building conversion?
Yes. Conversions usually have openings that were never domestic to begin with, which means unusual proportions and sometimes non-rectangular heads. Shaped frames including Gothic, swept head and true arch are available, and every opening is measured individually rather than taken from a schedule.
Is there a minimum order?
A single window can be supplied as readily as a full house, and small orders are common on older properties where one opening has failed. What changes with a small order is that the lead time and the delivery arrangement are the same as for a large one, so it is worth grouping work where you can.
