Sliding sash windows in Oxford
Tall Victorian terraces, North Oxford villas and a very large rented sector. Both services run here.
What is built in Oxford
Oxford's residential stock outside the colleges is overwhelmingly Victorian and Edwardian. Jericho, east Oxford around the Cowley Road, and the streets off the Iffley and Abingdon Roads are dense two and three storey terraces with tall sash openings and bays, while North Oxford holds the large gothic revival villas built for college fellows, generously windowed and often on protected streets. A high proportion of the terraced stock is rented, in multiple occupation, or owned by institutions rather than households.
What that means for your windows
Three storey terraces are the case where the inward tilt stops being a nice feature and becomes the reason people buy, because cleaning a second floor window from outside in a terrace with no side access is genuinely difficult. Beyond that, these houses are solid walled with high ceilings and lose heat everywhere, so an A plus rating and a frame that actually fills the opening make a real difference. For landlords and contractors, the supply-only lane handles volume against a schedule of sizes.
Two ways to buy in Oxford
Oxford 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 Oxford
Can you handle a large order across several Oxford properties?
Yes. One schedule covering every property is priced as a whole, with phased delivery to site where the works are staged across the year. That is the normal arrangement for landlords, letting agents and contractors, and it keeps the specification identical across a portfolio rather than drifting between orders.
Are these windows suitable for a house in multiple occupation?
Yes, and two options are worth raising at survey. A Fire Egress design allows a window to act as an escape route where a room needs one, and key operated restrictors limiting the opening to 100mm can be specified where a hard limit is wanted. Both are decided per window rather than across the whole property.
