Bespoke Timber Sash Window Installations

Sash Windows for Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas

We create traditional timber sash windows that combine period accuracy with the strength and durability of modern window fixtures. Using high-performance glazing technology and high-quality timber that is painted in any colour of your choosing, our sash windows are manufactured in-house at our Salisbury workshop, and available across Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Surrey and London.

What Makes Our Timber Sash Windows Different

Handcrafted Timber Sash Windows, Built to Original Detail

  • Authentic period designs to protect and enhance the character of older buildings, all made in Britain.
  • Range of glazing options, including slim-heritage double glazing and vacuum-insulated glass
  • Shaped or arched designs with colour-matched finishes
  • Sash pulley mechanics built to original specs
  • Full manufacturing and installation service

True Solid-Through Glazing Bars

For projects where authentic period detailing is essential, we can manufacture sash windows with true solid-through glazing bars. These are formed as part of the timber frame rather than using applied bars, providing a more authentic appearance and closely replicating the construction of traditional sash windows.

Fully Bespoke and Manufactured In-House

Every sash window at Tailored Wood is produced entirely in-house, 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 that is one window or a complete set.

Our timber sash windows are perfect for:

  • Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian homes
  • Church restoration and heritage conservation work
  • Full home renovation, partial window repair and selective window replacement
  • Homes seeking a traditional window style with modern performance
  • Period Buildings

Many period homes include arched openings or uniquely shaped windows, features that we match with precision design and application of these traditional profiles. This craftsmanship is suitable for church restoration, listed properties and any project that requires shaped timber joinery.

Sash Window Glazing Options

Thermally efficient windows that follow English heritage guidelines

Our sash windows can achieve U-values as low as 0.8 W/m²K. We use double glazing filled with heat-insulating gas, such as krypton or vacuum-sealed glass, to achieve this, whilst maintaining the appearance of traditional timber sash windows without disrupting any of the aesthetics. 

The vacuum-sealed double glazing we offer provides incredible energy efficiency, while also being slimmer and lighter than typical double or triple-glazed units. This means our replacement timber sash windows can maintain the same thickness as the original while offering maximum energy savings.

All our glazing options meet heritage requirements for Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian designs, and we provide a putty finish that is made to match that of the existing old windows.

Colour Matching and Hardware Finishes

Colour coding matching existing character

Each sliding 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.

Colour matching isn’t limited to the frame; hardware finishes can be chosen to complement your frame colour, so sash lifts, fasteners and stops sit with the window rather than against it. Finishes available include:

  • Polished brass
  • Aged brass
  • Polished chrome
  • Satin chrome
  • Satin brass
  • Trojan bronze

These small details allow you to match the hardware to both the building and the chosen frame colour.

Sustainable Materials

Our 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: A stable hardwood with an attractive grain, well-suited to traditional and heritage properties
  • Accoya: Exceptional dimensional stability, outstanding resistance to rot and a 50-year external warranty, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for high-performance sash windows.
  • Oak: Classic character, natural strength and enduring appeal for period homes

Each window is made to order, which allows us to meet conservation requirements and improve the comfort of the home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
