London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham
Timber Sash Windows Fulham
Heritage and conservation specialists serving Fulham, Parsons Green and all Hammersmith & Fulham conservation areas
Fulham sits within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, which has 44 conservation areas covering approximately 50% of the borough, one of the highest proportions in west London. Fulham's Victorian terraced streets, the grand houses around Eel Brook Common and the period properties of Parsons Green all sit within designated areas where window replacements are subject to planning scrutiny. Over 56% of properties in the area were built before 1919, with 500 listed buildings across the borough.
The typical sash window in Fulham's conservation areas is a Victorian two-over-two or one-over-one box sash, with a solid horn to the top sash and either applied or solid glazing bars depending on the period and sub-area. Our Traditional and Heritage profiles cover the full range, from simple replacements on later Victorian terraces to the more elaborate sashes found on Fulham's grander streets, with planning documentation supplied where required.

Why Fulham requires a specialist
LBHF's Urban Design and Conservation Team applies detailed controls on window replacements in Fulham's 44 conservation areas. Character profiles have been drawn up for each area, specifying the window types, glazing bar profiles and materials that are appropriate for each street. Replacements that do not match the original in material and profile are routinely refused.
For listed buildings, of which there are 500 across the borough, Listed Building Consent is required for any window replacement. We provide LBC drawings and specification documentation as standard, and advise on vacuum glazing where the heritage officer requires the thinnest possible unit.
Sash window questions from Fulham homeowners
Do I need permission to replace sash windows in Fulham?
If your house is listed, Listed Building Consent is needed for any window change. Much of Fulham is also in one of Hammersmith & Fulham's conservation areas, where the council's character profiles set out the window types, glazing bar profiles and materials expected on each street. We confirm what applies to your address at the free survey and prepare the drawings and specification for any application.
Which profile suits a Fulham Victorian terrace?
Most Fulham terraces have one-over-one or two-over-two box sashes with horns on the top sash. Our Traditional profile recreates these with double glazing; the Heritage profile adds solid glazing bars and slim glazing for listed buildings and the stricter conservation areas.
Do you also cover Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park?
Yes. We work across Hammersmith & Fulham, including Hammersmith, Ravenscourt Park, Parsons Green and Hurlingham. For the northern part of the borough, see our Shepherd's Bush page.
Do you repair or refurbish existing sash windows in Fulham?
No. We make and install new timber sash windows. Where full replacement is unlikely to be approved, for example on some listed buildings, we can make new sashes to fit the existing box frames instead; the survey confirms which route applies.
