Sliding sash windows in Newbury
A Georgian market town on the Kennet with a protected centre and a good deal of Victorian terrace behind it.
What is built in Newbury
Newbury grew on the cloth trade and then the canal, and its centre reflects both: Georgian brick frontages around the market place and along the older streets, a substantial listed and protected core, and the wharf area by the Kennet and Avon. Around it there are Victorian and Edwardian terraces built as the town expanded, and then twentieth century housing spreading north and west toward the racecourse and the newer estates.
What that means for your windows
Georgian frontages are the most demanding thing we work on, because the whole elevation is a regular grid and any thickening of the frames or loss of the pane divisions is immediately visible. That is a specification problem with a specification answer: keep the divisions, keep the sightlines slim, use a deeper bottom rail to restore the weight, and pick the colour against the brick. Behind the centre, the Victorian terraces are a warmth job first and a looks job second.
Two ways to buy in Newbury
Newbury 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 Newbury
Do I need planning permission to replace sash windows?
For most houses replacement windows do not need planning permission, but a listed building or a property in a conservation area is a different matter and the local authority is the body that decides it. It is worth asking them before you order rather than after, since the decision is theirs to give. We then specify to whatever they will accept.
How far in advance should I order?
Lead times are confirmed in writing against your specific order before you commit, because they move with the specification and the time of year. We would rather give you a date tied to your job than publish a standard figure that turns out to be wrong for it.
