Sliding sash windows in Wallingford
A Thames market town on a Saxon street plan, with a Georgian face and a protected centre.
What is built in Wallingford
Wallingford keeps its ancient grid of streets around the market place, and the buildings on it are largely Georgian brick fronts, often over older structures, with a substantial listed and protected core running down to the bridge and the river. Around the centre there are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and twentieth century housing extends toward the Winterbrook and Cholsey sides where the constraints are ordinary.
What that means for your windows
Georgian frontages over older buildings produce a specific quirk: the elevation looks regular but the openings behind it often are not, because the front was applied to a structure that was already there. That is a survey problem more than a design problem, and it is exactly the case where measuring each opening individually saves an expensive misunderstanding. On the river side, exposure and damp make the water tightness figures and the weather bar the parts that matter.
Two ways to buy in Wallingford
Wallingford 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 Wallingford
The front of our house looks regular but the openings are not. Is that unusual?
It is very common in a town where Georgian fronts were applied to older buildings. The elevation was made to look regular; the structure behind it was not rebuilt to match. Every opening is measured individually at survey for exactly that reason, so the windows fit what is actually there rather than what the frontage implies.
Do you handle listed building work?
We supply and fit to whatever the local authority will consent to, but the consent itself is between you and them and it needs settling first. Tell us at survey that the building is listed and we will specify around what has been agreed rather than proposing something that will be refused.
