Sliding sash windows in Ruislip
Metroland at its most complete, with a genuinely old village centre sitting inside it.
What is built in Ruislip
Ruislip has an old village core around the church and Manor Farm with buildings of real age, including timber framed structures, and a conservation area covering it. Everything around that is Metroland: interwar semi-detached and detached housing built out along the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines through the 1920s and 1930s, laid out in long consistent avenues with bays to the ground floor and divided upper panes as the standard window pattern.
What that means for your windows
Interwar suburban housing has a specific window grammar, usually a divided upper pane over a clear lower one, repeated across the bay and up the elevation, and reproducing it is what keeps a street looking like itself. It is also the detail most often dropped in a replacement, which is why so many Metroland avenues now look patchy. Georgian bars inside the sealed unit reproduce the pattern with nothing outside to maintain, which suits this stock well.
Two ways to buy in Ruislip
Ruislip 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 Ruislip
How do I keep the 1930s look on a Metroland house?
Reproduce the pattern of divided panes rather than fitting plain glass, keep the bay geometry as it is, and choose a finish that suits the brick. Georgian bars set inside the sealed unit give the pattern with a flat outer face and nothing to repaint, which is usually the right call on interwar stock.
Are you nearby if something needs adjusting later?
Yes, we are based at Uxbridge, so Ruislip is a few minutes away. On a local job that means a return visit is straightforward rather than a scheduling exercise, which is worth something on any fitted work.
