Period sash windows for Oldham’s older streets
If your Oldham property still has its original sash windows, replacing them properly takes more care than a standard casement job. Its elevated position on the edge of the Pennines makes it noticeably windier and cooler than towns lower in the Manchester basin. A good installer should be able to show you examples of the sightlines before you commit.
Why locals choose us
- Oldham was once one of the world’s biggest cotton-spinning towns, and its hilltop streets are still lined with Victorian terraces built for that workforce.
- The higher, more exposed streets can mean faster wear on seals and frames than in more sheltered parts of Greater Manchester.
- Timber and uPVC options, so a period look doesn’t have to mean high maintenance.
- Slimline sightlines designed to keep the original glazing bar pattern rather than a chunky modern profile.

Frequently asked questions
Will new sash windows need planning permission in Oldham? Standard sash replacements usually don’t need planning permission unless the property is listed. It’s still worth confirming with the council if you’re unsure about your property’s status.
Can sash windows be draught-proofed without full replacement? Often, yes - brush seals and a refurbished sash box can cut draughts significantly on original timber sashes that are otherwise in decent condition, which is worth considering before committing to full replacement.
Do sash window replacements in Oldham have to be timber? No - uPVC and timber-composite sash options can replicate a Victorian glazing bar pattern at a lower price than solid timber, though timber is usually still preferred where a conservation officer is involved.
