Why Choose Eden Sash Windows

Preserving Heritage Character With Double Glazing.

01

Why Choose Double Glazing for Your Home

A common concern for period property owners is that standard double glazing often looks too thick and loses the delicate sightlines of traditional timber frames. Our double-glazed units are specifically designed to overcome this. By using low-emissivity glass, argon gas filling, and warm-edge spacers, we create a unit that fits seamlessly into your original sash boxes. This approach replicates the appearance of classic single glazing while significantly reducing heat loss and external noise from the busy Surrey corridors.

02

How We Preserve Your Original Timber Joinery

Preservation is at the heart of our service. Rather than suggesting full replacements, Charlie Burgess and his team assess whether your existing box frames and sashes can be restored. We use techniques like timber splicing and hardwood sills to repair sections that have suffered from rot, ensuring the structure remains sound. This careful approach maintains the heritage value of your home while preparing the sashes to hold the weight and thickness of new, energy-efficient units.

03

Draught Proofing and Improved Window Operation

Upgrading your glass is only half the battle when it comes to home comfort. Our service includes a comprehensive draught-proofing system that addresses the gaps around your sashes. We machine hidden brush seals into the parting and staff beads, which effectively seal the perimeter of the window. This stops rattling, eliminates cold draughts, and ensures your sashes glide smoothly on their original counterweights. It is an essential step for keeping your home warm and quiet throughout the year.

"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.
