Sliding sash windows in Virginia Water
Large houses on private roads, where the specification often has to satisfy an estate as well as a household.
What is built in Virginia Water
Virginia Water is dominated by large detached houses on wide wooded plots, developed through the twentieth century around the lake and the Wentworth estate, with private roads and estate management covering a considerable part of it. There is little older stock of any scale, and a continuing pattern of substantial new houses replacing earlier ones, so window openings are generally modern, large and regular.
What that means for your windows
Estate management is the defining practical feature of working here. Where appearance is controlled, the sequence that works is to get the requirement in writing, then survey, then write a specification against both. Colour, glazing bar layout and hardware finish are all controllable, including dual colour where the estate specifies an external shade but the household wants light rooms. Doing it in that order avoids the common outcome of an order being amended after approval is refused.
Two ways to buy in Virginia Water
Virginia Water 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 Virginia Water
Our road has rules about window appearance. How do we handle that?
Get the requirement from the estate in writing before the survey. The specification is then drawn to it, covering colour, glazing bar layout, sightlines and hardware, and the written quotation is usually what you submit for approval. Working in that order is what stops an order needing to be changed after manufacture has been scheduled.
Can a very large window opening be made as a sliding sash?
Sash windows are made to the measured opening, and the locking specification scales with the width: one cam lock up to 799mm and two at 800mm and above, so a wider sash gets additional locking points rather than the same hardware spread thinner. The surveyor confirms what is achievable for a particular opening on site.
