What sets our box sash windows apart

Authentic Timber Sash Window Installers

Our bespoke box sash windows are handcrafted to protect and enhance the character of older buildings while providing reliable function and modern energy benefits. Clients can choose authentic period styles, a range of glazing options, shaped or arched designs, colour matched finishes and a full installation service. This ensures each window complements the architecture of the property and meets the needs of the project.

Fully Bespoke and Manufactured In House

Every box sash window at Tailored Wood is produced entirely in house. Nothing is subcontracted, which allows us to oversee every detail from start to finish. We take accurate measurements and design each window to suit the building’s structure and era. This approach provides an exact fit and maintains the original appearance of the property. Whether you require one window or a complete set, every unit is tailored to your home.

Advanced Glazing Options

We offer a wide variety of glazing choices to suit conservation work and modern insulation. For clients who want improved thermal performance, we have a variety of options available from traditional double glazed units to vacuum insulated glass. Which can achieve U values as low as 0.8 W/m²K. This option helps keep homes warm while maintaining the traditional look of timber sash windows. Additional choices include stained glass, patterned glass and obscuring glass for decorative or privacy requirements. These allow homeowners to add character or meet practical needs without disrupting the period style.

Ideal for Heritage and Listed Properties

Tailored Wood has extensive experience in creating sash windows for heritage replacements. Our joiners replicate historic details such as solid-through Georgian bars, deep mouldings and the correct proportions linked to Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian designs. Plus the putty finish we provide is made to match that of the existing old windows, ensuring every fine detail lines up with your original authentic look. These features are important for listed buildings and properties within conservation areas. We can also match the existing timber profiles and glazing bar patterns so your new windows blend naturally with original joinery.

Accurate Colour Matching and Specialist Finishes

Each box sash window can be painted in any colour you choose. If your building has existing windows that require a perfect match, we offer a colour matching service that helps maintain a consistent appearance across the façade. We also supply heritage shades, bespoke tones and modern finishes, giving you full control over the final look of your windows.

Arched Windows and Special Shapes

Many period homes include arched openings or unique shaped windows. We can manufacture arched sash windows and curved frames to match these features with precision. These bespoke designs can be created with traditional profiles, heritage glazing bars and advanced glazing options. This craftsmanship is suitable for church restoration, listed properties and any project that requires shaped timber joinery.

Decorative and Privacy Glass Options

Our box sash windows can include stained glass, patterned glass or obscuring glass depending on your needs. These options work well in bathrooms, stairwells, entrance areas and feature locations where privacy or decoration is required. Each glass type is chosen to complement the design of the window and can be paired with either traditional or high performance glazing.

Traditional Sash Mechanics

Our sash windows use authentic traditional systems. You can choose cords and weights or high quality balance mechanisms depending on the style of the property. The sliding movement is smooth and consistent due to precise joinery and careful installation. This ensures your window looks appropriate to the era while offering dependable long term use.

Hardware Styles and Finishes

We provide a full collection of hardware options to complete your new sash windows. These include sash lifts, fasteners, pulleys and sash stops in several colours and finishes. Choices include polished brass, satin chrome, antique finishes and other period inspired styles. These small details allow you to match the hardware to both the building and the chosen frame colour.

Professional Installation Across the South of the UK 

Tailored Wood offers a complete service which includes full installation. Our fitting teams work across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Sussex and Surrey and beyond. We manage the entire process from surveying and preparation to installation and finishing. Because our fitters work exclusively with our products, the final result maintains both the performance and the period character of your new windows.

Sustainable Materials

Tailored Woods box sash windows are expertly crafted using premium, sustainably sourced timbers selected for durability, performance and timeless appeal. For our windows, we utilise Sapele, Accoya and Oak, each providing distinct benefits. Sapele is a stable hardwood with an attractive grain, well suited to traditional and heritage properties. Accoya delivers exceptional dimensional stability, outstanding resistance to rot and a long service life, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for high-performance sash windows. Oak offers classic character, natural strength and enduring appeal for period homes. To find out more about the wood types we use, contact us via our website.

  • Listed buildings needing accurate reproduction joinery

What People Say...

Please can you thank everyone involved with our new windows. We are thrilled with them, they are beyond our expectations.

It’s been a pleasure having your company complete this work for us, it has been made so easy.

We will of course get in touch should we have any teething problems, but we are not expecting them as the quality is superb.

Alex Bowers

Window Replacement

Recently used Tailored Wood and I’d like to say they helped with everything from the survey and design, dealing with specifications required by the council (conservation area) to the communication, administration staff and the fitting, all was amazing! The fitter was so efficient, cleaned up, took all old windows away! I could not have received better service. Highly recommended. Thank you Tailored Wood.

Julie Sampson

Sash Windows Replacement | Portchester

We needed restoration work as well as complete replacements for some sash windows, and I have to say I now can’t tell which is which. Many of the period details had been removed from the building by previous owners but with the help of Joel and his team we managed to restore the soul of my home. From start to finish such care and attention goes into their work it was a joy to work with them.

Zoe Butterworth

Box Sash & Casement Windows, Door Set | Ringwood, Hampshire

I cannot recommend Tailored Wood highly enough. Really good local business with highly motivated staff. Not only superb craftsmen but also keen to renovate rather than replace where ever possible. Always on time, kept mess to a minimum and fantastic after sale service on any snags. If you are considering any door or window projects I would always include these guys in your round of quotes.

Malcolm Lee

Sash Windows Restoration & Replacement | St Cross, Winchester

WOW! Joel & his team completely transformed our rotting single glazed windows in our period terrace home. Using a combination of refurbishment and new windows we now have beautiful wooden sash double glazed windows entirely in keeping with the property. Joel’s attention to detail, great communication throughout the project, and thorough cleaning down each day made it a whole lot less stressful than we’d anticipated. Joel & his team were an absolute pleasure to work with and have in our home, we would highly recommend them.

Amy Elizabeth Austin

Sash Windows Refurbishment & Replacement

We are absolutely delighted with our new hardwood sash windows! They are so beautiful and we are so pleased to have been able to retain as much of the original wood as possible. They look exactly like the originals and it is almost impossible to see they are double-glazed. We are so glad we did not go for the more expensive PVC wood imitations. Excellent skilful fitter too.

Lysbeth Sleath

Sash Windows Restoration & Replacement | St Cross, Winchester

After meeting with Joel, his personable approach, and excellent advice and ideas, were our reasons for choosing Joel and his team to make and fit our windows. The windows have transformed the front of our house. The craftsmanship is excellent and the attention to detail regarding decorating and finish is second to none. The after-service was excellent.

We’re now getting Joel and his team back to install a skylight. Thank you to Tailored Wood. Highly recommended.
