Sliding sash windows in Gerrards Cross
A town that essentially begins in 1906, built for people arriving by train, and built generously. We survey, supply and fit here.
What is built in Gerrards Cross
Gerrards Cross barely existed before the railway station opened, and almost everything here dates from that moment onward. The result is an unusually consistent stock of large Edwardian and interwar detached houses set back on wooded plots, many with Arts and Crafts influence in the detailing, generous window openings, and tile hanging or half timbering to the upper storeys. The common and the older lanes on its edges hold a handful of earlier buildings, but the character of the town is early twentieth century and comfortable.
What that means for your windows
Houses of this age were built with a lot of glass and a specific window rhythm, usually divided panes above and larger clear panes below, and that rhythm is what makes the elevation look right. It is also the detail most often lost in a replacement. A deeper bottom rail gives back the visual weight the original timber had, and a woodgrain foil in Golden Oak, Irish Oak or Rosewood reads far closer to painted or stained timber than a flat white frame ever will on a house of this period.
Two ways to buy in Gerrards Cross
Gerrards Cross 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 Gerrards Cross
Will uPVC look wrong on a large Edwardian house?
What gives a uPVC sash window away is usually proportion and surface, not the material. A deeper bottom rail restores the visual weight of a timber sash, sash horns and glazing bars put the detail back, and five of the eleven foil finishes give a genuine woodgrain texture rather than a flat plastic sheen. Specified that way it reads correctly from the pavement, which is where anyone actually looks at it.
How long does a fitted job in Gerrards Cross take?
The fitting itself is usually a small number of days depending on how many openings there are, but the lead time before that is set by the specification and confirmed in writing against your order before you commit. We would rather give you a date we can hold than a standard figure that moves.
