Getting sash windows right in Canterbury
Sash windows are built to slide vertically within a box frame, and getting the glazing bar proportions right matters just as much as the thermal performance on a period property. In Canterbury, that means working with medieval and Georgian buildings inside the city walls around the Cathedral precinct, with Victorian terraces and university housing beyond. The historic centre inside the walls carries dense conservation and listed-building status, so replacements there usually need heritage-approved timber or slimline profiles rather than standard uPVC. We quote against the property in front of us rather than a generic price list, so Canterbury jobs are measured and priced individually.
Why locals choose us
- Draught-proofing brush seals fitted into the box frame, which on older sashes often makes the single biggest difference to comfort
- Timber or foiled timber-effect frame options for properties where planning or conservation rules rule out uPVC
- A UNESCO World Heritage cathedral city and pilgrimage destination, also home to the University of Kent, which shapes a fair bit of the Canterbury housing stock we work on
- Experience working to conservation area and listed building requirements, common across the older parts of town
- Free, no-obligation quotes with a written price before any work is booked in

Frequently asked questions
Are sash windows more expensive to fit in Canterbury than standard casements? Generally yes - the box frame construction, balance mechanism and often-bespoke sizing on period properties push sash windows above standard casement pricing, even before any conservation-area requirements are factored in.
Do I need planning permission for sash windows in Canterbury? Most like-for-like sash replacements on non-listed buildings don’t need planning permission, but listed buildings and conservation areas often have extra restrictions on materials and glazing bar pattern - check with the local council first.
Can sash windows be double glazed without losing the period look? Yes - modern slimline double-glazed units are built into a sash profile that matches the original glazing bar spacing and sightlines, so from the street they look very close to the single-glazed original.
