Sliding sash windows in Wokingham
A genuine old market town with a great deal of very new housing around it. The two need different conversations.
What is built in Wokingham
Wokingham's centre is an old market town: timber framed buildings behind later fronts, Georgian brick frontages around the market place, and Victorian infill, with a conservation area covering the core. Outside that the borough has seen some of the heaviest recent house building in Berkshire, so the surrounding stock runs from interwar semi-detached housing through postwar estates to developments completed in the last few years.
What that means for your windows
In the centre the work is period work and the specification follows the frontage. On the newer stock the question is usually different, because those houses were built with adequate windows that are now dated rather than failed, and the sash window is being chosen for how it looks. That is a legitimate reason to buy one, and it changes what matters: the deeper bottom rail, the woodgrain foils and the bar layout do the work, while the A plus rating and the PAS 24: 2022 security come as standard either way.
Two ways to buy in Wokingham
Wokingham 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 Wokingham
Can sash windows be fitted to a modern house?
Yes, and it is a normal request. There is nothing about the window that requires an old building. What changes is that you are choosing the appearance rather than matching one, so the deeper bottom rail, the sash horns and the glazing bar layout become decisions rather than constraints. The survey covers the openings the same way regardless of the age of the house.
What is a Window Energy Rating and what is yours?
It is a scale that combines heat lost through the window with heat gained from the sun and air leakage, so it describes the whole window rather than just the glass. ECOSlide® is A+ as standard, and the U-value is 1.3 W/m²K, or 1.2 with enhanced glazing.
