01

How do we maintain authentic period sightlines

A common concern for homeowners in Spelthorne is the fear that modern glass will look bulky or out of place. Our bespoke double glazing is specifically designed to replicate the appearance of traditional single-glazed panes. By integrating A-rated, argon-filled units into either your existing boxes or newly manufactured timber sashes, we maintain the slender profiles required for historic buildings. This approach ensures your home retains its classic aesthetic while meeting contemporary energy standards.

02

Draught proofing and thermal performance in Surrey

Upgrading to double glazing is only one part of the equation for a warmer home. Every installation we complete includes comprehensive draught-proofing, which involves fitting hidden brush seals into the staff and parting beads. This process effectively seals the gaps around the sash meeting rails and pulley stiles, eliminating cold spots and rattling. This dual approach of high-performance glass and precision draught exclusion makes a substantial difference in blocking out noise and reducing your energy bills.

03

Why choose our bespoke timber joinery services

We work exclusively with timber to ensure long-term durability and structural compatibility with older brickwork. As a FENSA-registered specialist, we provide a 10-year guarantee on all new timber work, offering peace of mind for your investment. We hold £2m public liability insurance and pride ourselves on clean, professional working practices. Whether you are dealing with misted glass units or are simply looking to improve the insulation of your period property, we offer a dedicated service tailored to the unique needs of Ashford homes.

04

What to expect from your initial sash survey

Before any work commences, Charlie Burgess conducts a detailed physical assessment of your frames, sills, weights, and glass to ensure the best possible solution for your windows. We believe in transparency, which is why we provide a clear, fixed written quotation based on our findings. This survey allows us to identify any underlying timber rot or structural issues that may need attention before the glazing upgrade. To get started, book your sash window survey with Charlie Burgess today by calling 020 7046 0157 or requesting a quote online for your property in Ashford.

"We are very happy with Eden Joinery's work: we had a completely new sash fitted, and four sashes fitted into our existing frames. Our windows look fantastic - and no more draughts! Terry and son were courteous, tidy, with competitive rates, and took obvious pride in their work. They went the extra mile to fix a problem with one of our frames, and all windows were finished to a high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend them."

Double Glazing & Restoration Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical guidance from Charlie Burgess on upgrading your timber sashes with double glazing, satisfying conservation standards, and draught-proofing period homes across South London.

Can you double glaze my existing original sash boxes?

+

In many cases, yes. If your original box frames are in good structural condition, we can manufacture new timber sashes fitted with double glazing that sit directly into the existing frames. This avoids the need for major structural work and preserves your interior architraves and plasterwork. During the survey, Charlie will check for any rot in the sills or pulley stiles that may need splicing before the new sashes are fitted.

Will I need planning permission for double glazing in a conservation area?

+

Like-for-like timber repairs often do not require formal planning permission, but installing double glazing in a conservation area or a listed building can be more complex. Many councils in Wandsworth, Lambeth, and Richmond now look favourably on timber units that match the original profiles. We can advise you on the specific requirements for your local authority to ensure your upgrade is compliant.

How much of a difference does draught proofing make?

+

Draught proofing is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve a period home. By installing hidden brush seals, we close the gaps that allow heat to escape and cold air to whistle through. When combined with our double glazing, it can significantly lower your heating bills and almost entirely eliminate the rattles common with older Victorian windows.

What is the benefit of double-glazed units over standard double glazing?

+

Standard double-glazed units are typically 20mm to 24mm thick, which requires very chunky timber frames that look out of place on a period property. Our double-glazed units use advanced thermal technology to provide similar insulation levels in a much thinner profile. This allows us to maintain the authentic "sightlines" of your windows, ensuring they look like the original single-glazed sashes while providing modern A-rated thermal performance.

How long does the installation process take?

+

The timeline depends on the number of windows, but a standard room can often be completed in a day or two. We work cleanly and efficiently, ensuring your home is secure at the end of every working day. Because we are based in Battersea, we are local to South West London and Surrey, which allows us to manage logistics and site visits effectively without long delays.
