Sash window specialists for Peterborough’s period properties
If you’re dealing with draughty, hard-to-open sash windows in Peterborough, you’re not alone. Around the historic cathedral, most of Peterborough’s housing dates from its huge expansion as a designated New Town from the 1970s onward, and a lot of those original sash boxes are now decades past their expected working life. Flat fenland surroundings mean Peterborough is more exposed to wind than its inland position would suggest, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Peterborough? Often yes, but conservation coverage focuses mainly on the cathedral precinct, with most residential areas outside any special restrictions, 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 Peterborough? 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.
