Timber Sash Windows Shepherd's Bush
Heritage and conservation specialists serving Shepherd's Bush, Askew, Brackenbury and the Hammersmith & Fulham conservation areas
Shepherd's Bush lies in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, a borough with more than forty conservation areas. The housing stock is predominantly late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces built between roughly 1870 and 1910, with bay-fronted elevations, one-over-one or two-over-two box sashes and, on many streets, decorative margin lights and coloured glass in the upper sashes.
Where a street sits inside a conservation area, the council expects replacements to match the original in material, profile and pane configuration. Our Traditional profile covers the standard Victorian one-over-one and two-over-two sash with modern double glazing, while the Heritage profile handles the stricter cases where slimlight glazing and solid glazing bars are needed.

Why Shepherd's Bush requires a specialist
Bay-fronted Victorian terraces are unforgiving of an approximate specification: the sash proportions, the depth of the bay, the horns on the upper sash and the pattern of any margin lights all read from the street, and a mismatch between neighbouring houses is exactly what a conservation officer looks for. Original coloured or etched glass can often be retained and reset into a new sash.
We survey the surviving originals on your elevation, confirm whether the street is inside a conservation area, and specify a profile that matches, including the reuse of original glass where it is intact. The survey and planning assessment are free of charge.
Sash window questions from Shepherd's Bush homeowners
Do I need permission to replace sash windows in Shepherd's Bush?
Only some streets are affected. Where a house sits in one of Hammersmith & Fulham's conservation areas, such as Askew or Brackenbury, the council expects replacements to match the original in material, profile and pane pattern, and a listed building needs Listed Building Consent. We confirm the position for your address at the free survey.
Can the original coloured glass in my sashes be kept?
Often, yes. Where the coloured or etched margin glass is intact, it can usually be taken out and reset into the new sash. We record its condition at the survey and tell you which panes can be reused.
Which profile suits a bay-fronted Victorian terrace?
Our Traditional profile covers the standard one-over-one and two-over-two Victorian sash with double glazing. The Heritage profile is for stricter cases where solid glazing bars and slim glazing are needed. Either way, the sash proportions, horns and bay depth are matched to your neighbours' originals.
Do you repair or refurbish existing sash windows in Shepherd's Bush?
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.
