Timber Sash Windows Hackney
Heritage and conservation specialists serving Stoke Newington, De Beauvoir, Clapton and all Hackney conservation areas
Hackney has one of the most diverse and rapidly growing conservation area portfolios in inner London, with designated areas spanning from the Georgian squares of De Beauvoir Town to the Victorian terraces of Beck Road, the historic commercial streets of Stoke Newington and the warehouse character of South Shoreditch. The borough has recently extended conservation area protection and applied Article 4 Directions to Beck Road and Well Street, removing permitted development rights and requiring planning permission for window replacements on these streets.
Hackney's Victorian housing stock, predominantly two and three storey terraces built between 1860 and 1910, typically features two-over-two or one-over-one box sash windows with applied or solid glazing bars. Our Traditional and Heritage profiles cover the full range, from simple one-over-one replacements on later Victorian terraces to the more elaborate six-over-six sashes found on De Beauvoir's earlier stock.

Why Hackney requires a specialist
Hackney's conservation area coverage is expanding, three new areas were designated recently at Beck Road, Pitfield Street and Well Street, with Article 4 Directions applied to Beck Road and Well Street. This means window replacements on these streets now require planning permission. We keep up to date with Hackney's conservation area designations and identify Article 4 status at survey stage.
The borough's heritage officers expect replacement windows to match the original in material, profile and glazing bar pattern. For Victorian terraces, this typically means timber sash windows with the same number and proportion of panes as the original, whether that is one-over-one, two-over-two or six-over-six. We advise on the correct specification at survey stage.
