Sliding sash windows in St Albans
A city with Roman foundations, a medieval street plan and a great deal of Georgian and Victorian frontage on top of it.
What is built in St Albans
St Albans has an unusually layered centre, with medieval street lines, timber framed buildings, Georgian brick fronts and Victorian infill, and extensive listing and conservation area coverage around the abbey and the older streets running down toward the Ver. Beyond the centre the city holds substantial Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas from its railway era growth, and twentieth century housing spreading in every direction.
What that means for your windows
Two things make St Albans distinctive to work in. The historic core is deep rather than a single street, so the conservation question comes up on a lot of addresses and belongs at the front of the conversation. And the Victorian belt is unusually well preserved, with the original opening pattern still legible on most frontages, which makes a matched replacement genuinely worthwhile rather than a nominal gesture. Both are surveyed before anything is ordered.
Two ways to buy in St Albans
St Albans 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.

Questions we get asked in St Albans
Is St Albans inside your fitting area?
Yes, it is the northern edge of the Hertfordshire part of the catchment, alongside Rickmansworth and Chorleywood. Our teams work outward from Uxbridge, and St Albans is covered for survey, supply and installation with a FENSA certificate on completion.
How do I find out whether my street is protected?
The council holds the conservation area boundaries and the listing records for your address, and they are the only reliable source for it. Check before ordering rather than after. Once the position is known we specify to it, and if a replacement is not going to be consented we would rather tell you at survey.
