Sliding sash windows in Watlington
A very small market town tucked under the Chiltern escarpment, built in brick and flint and not much changed.
What is built in Watlington
Watlington is one of the smallest market towns in the country and keeps a compact centre of brick, flint and rendered buildings from the seventeenth century onward, with a listed core around the town hall and the main streets. The surrounding parish holds farm buildings and cottages of similar construction, and a modest amount of twentieth century housing on the edges, with the escarpment and the Ridgeway immediately above.
What that means for your windows
Brick and flint construction gives thick walls, deep reveals and openings that vary from one to the next even on the same elevation, which is a case for measuring every window individually and using shaped frames where the head is not straight. The escarpment adds exposure on the elevations facing it. Both are settled at survey, and the outcome is a window built to the opening that is actually there rather than to the one a schedule assumes.
Two ways to buy in Watlington
Watlington 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 Watlington
How deep can the frames go into a thick wall?
The frame is made to the surveyed opening, so the depth of the reveal is accounted for rather than worked around. On thick walled brick and flint construction that is the difference between a window that sits properly in the opening and one that looks applied to the front of it.
Do you cover villages as well as towns?
Yes. The fitting catchment is drawn by area rather than by settlement size, so the villages around Watlington are covered on the same basis as the town itself. Anywhere in Great Britain outside the catchment, the windows can be supplied and delivered for your own fitter to install.
