Why Choose Eden Sash Windows

Preserving Heritage Character With Double Glazing.

01

How we maintain authentic sightlines in Westminster

Traditional timber sashes are often compromised by bulky modern glazing beads. Our approach uses bespoke double-glazed units specifically designed to replicate the elegant, narrow profile of original single-glazed panes. By using low-emissivity glass and warm-edge spacers, we achieve superior insulation without the visual thickness that can ruin the appearance of a period facade. This attention to detail is essential for properties within conservation areas where maintaining the correct aesthetic is a priority.

02

Combining thermal efficiency with effective draught-proofing

A successful sash window upgrade involves more than just swapping the glass. To truly address heat loss and street noise, we incorporate a comprehensive draught-proofing system alongside our double-glazing installations. We machine hidden brush seals into the staff and parting beads, which effectively closes the gaps around the sash while ensuring the windows continue to glide smoothly. This combination eliminates rattles and cold spots, making your home noticeably more comfortable throughout the year.

03

Do you need planning permission for sash upgrades?

Many homeowners in London are concerned about local planning authority restrictions when improving their windows. While replacing an entire frame may trigger requirements for planning consent or compliance with Article 4 directions, upgrading existing timber sashes with double-glazed units is often a more straightforward process. We advise on the specific conservation requirements for your property, ensuring that all work meets local standards. As a FENSA-registered specialist, we also provide the necessary documentation for your window installations.

04

We operate with a commitment to quality joinery and transparent service. Every project begins with a physical assessment of your frames, weights, and sills, followed by a clear, fixed written quotation.

"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."

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.
