Sash window specialists for Exeter’s period properties
Sash window work in Exeter usually means balancing double glazing benefits against keeping the original look. A South West England climate that is milder than much of the country but still wetter, closer to the coast than many inland cities, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss. Georgian and Victorian terraces surround Exeter’s cathedral close, with a mostly Roman and medieval street pattern still visible in the city centre, 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 Exeter? Often yes, but conservation controls around the cathedral close and city centre are relatively strict given the concentration of historic buildings, 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 Exeter? 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.
