Sliding sash windows in Thame
One of the broadest market streets in the county, lined with frontages of every century since the fifteenth.
What is built in Thame
Thame is built along an exceptionally wide market street with a continuous run of frontages: timber framed buildings behind later fronts, Georgian brick, Victorian infill and shopfronts, much of it listed. The scale changes abruptly behind the street, where the town holds Victorian terraces and then substantial twentieth century and recent housing spreading toward the Haddenham side and the bypass.
What that means for your windows
A street of mixed centuries is more forgiving than a uniformly Georgian one, because there is no single pattern to break, but it is less forgiving about quality: with everything visible side by side, a cheap looking window stands out against good ones. The specification worth making here is texture and proportion, a woodgrain finish and a deeper bottom rail, rather than trying to copy a neighbour. Behind the street, the later housing is straightforward and the decision moves to colour and glass.
Two ways to buy in Thame
Thame 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 Thame
Is there a way to see the specification written down before I commit?
Yes. The quotation is written against the survey and sets out exactly what is being supplied, including the colour, glass, hardware finish and glazing bar layout. Nothing is ordered until you have agreed that document, and the lead time is confirmed in writing at the same point.
Can you match one window to the others in a house that has been part-replaced?
Usually, yes. The variables that decide whether it matches are the pane division, the sightline, the presence or absence of sash horns and the colour, all of which are specified per order. The survey is where those are recorded against what is already on the building.
