Sash window specialists for Chelmsford’s period properties
Sash windows are common across the older parts of Chelmsford, and they need a different approach to a standard casement job. An inland Essex climate with nothing unusual weather-wise affecting window condition, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss. Victorian terraces in the centre give way to extensive 20th-century suburban housing built as Chelmsford grew into the county town of Essex, and a lot of those original sash boxes are now decades past their expected working life.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Chelmsford? Often yes, but some conservation coverage exists in the city centre, though most of Chelmsford’s housing is comparatively modern, so slimline double-glazed units that replicate the original glazing bars are usually the way through rather than a standard modern sash.
Is it better to repair or replace old sash windows? If the timber frame itself is sound, draught-proofing and mechanism repairs are usually cheaper and can be enough. Full sash replacement makes more sense once the frame has rotted or the sash cords have failed repeatedly.
How long does sash window replacement take in Chelmsford? A single sash window usually takes half a day including making good the surrounding plaster or woodwork, though full-house jobs on larger period properties take longer.
