Timber sash windows are an iconic feature of London’s architectural heritage. From Georgian townhouses in Kensington to Victorian terraces in Clapham, these traditional window styles have defined the character of the city’s most recognisable homes. For homeowners and developers restoring listed properties, choosing the right sash windows is not just about aesthetics — it’s about meeting conservation requirements, improving energy efficiency, and preserving long-term value.


At Timber Sash Windows London .com, we specialise in bespoke timber sash windows handcrafted to suit London’s diverse period buildings. Whether you’re renovating a listed property or upgrading a heritage home, our windows offer the perfect balance of authenticity and performance.

✅ The Importance of Sash Windows in Listed Buildings



In London, many homes fall under conservation area status or are officially listed by Historic England. These designations require that any replacement windows closely match the originals in appearance and material. UPVC alternatives are often not permitted — making timber sash windows the preferred and compliant choice.


We work with homeowners, architects, and planning officers across London boroughs to ensure our sash windows meet listed property requirements while also offering modern upgrades like double glazing, draught sealing, and multi-point locking for improved insulation and security.



🪟 Our Made-to-Measure Timber Sash Windows



Every window we supply is made to order at our UK workshop using traditional joinery methods, including mortice and tenon joints and slender glazing bars for period accuracy. Our most popular styles include:


  • Georgian 6-over-6 sash windows

  • Victorian single-glazed lookalikes with slimline double glazing

  • Edwardian multi-pane top sash / single-pane bottom sash combinations



All windows are available in full hardwood or engineered redwood, pre-painted in any RAL colour, and delivered pre-glazed and pre-fitted with hardware — saving time and cost on-site.
