Victorian sash windows represent the pinnacle of bespoke window design, blending elegant aesthetics with practical functionality. At Wandsworth Sash Windows, we specialise in crafting authentic Victorian, traditional windows, each one handmade one of our three British workshops.

Whether you’re restoring a cherished period property or adding architectural character to a contemporary home, our bespoke Victorian windows deliver unmatched authenticity with performance that exceeds modern standards.
Victorian Windows that are Durable, Elegant & Unique
We are an expert Victorian sash window company, crafting beautiful, handmade windows in our very own workshop. We offer three main sash window services:
Complete renewal
Most customers choose this service if they want the most extensive service for their window replacements. With this option you have perfectly square traditional sash windows which will operate incredibly smoothly.
Sash replacement
Requiring less work than a complete replacement, with this service your sashes will be upgraded with Victorian timber double-glazed and fully painted sashes. This allows us to retain the traditional look and feel of your windows, while upgrading the quality and visual appeal.
Draught seal and overhaul
This is our basic service. Certain elements of the windows are changed such as the staff and parting bead, the sash cord and the ironmongery. Your existing sash windows will be fine tuned and improved so they operate more smoothly; these subtle upgrades will help with the longevity of the windows.
Our customer service and window quality set us apart from other window companies. We project manage throughout, so you can leave all the details to us. The window manufacturing and fitting processes are all carried out by our in-house team, so we are fully accountable for our work.
What do our customers think?
The Rich Heritage of Victorian Windows
Victorian sash windows emerged during Queen Victoria’s reign (1837-1901), a period marked by industrial innovation and architectural refinement. Unlike their Georgian predecessors with multiple smaller panes, Victorian windows featured larger glass panels – a result of improved glass manufacturing technology.
The most distinctive feature is the sash horn, a downward extension of the upper sash that strengthened the frame to support heavier glass. This practical innovation became a defining aesthetic element that instantly identifies authentic Victorian windows.
What Are the Benefits of Traditional Sash Windows?
Authenticity Victorian windows offer unmatched period character with their distinctive horns, proportions, and details. Their elegant design adds historical authenticity to period properties and architectural distinction to newer homes. Our handmade windows faithfully reproduce all the defining features that made Victorian windows so coveted.
Practicality Like all sash windows, Victorian designs can be finely adjusted to control ventilation. A narrow gap can be opened at either the top or bottom to allow fresh air while preventing rain ingress. Our optional restrictors allow secure ventilation for added peace of mind.
Longevity Victorian sash windows are built to last generations. Hung from each corner rather than hinged, they resist distortion under their own weight. Our traditional joinery methods combined with modern materials create windows that will serve your property for decades to come.

Yes, they can. Some elements in the new windows will be slightly different, but the overall look and feel of the windows is traditional to how the Victorians designed them.
We can provide replacements which follow the traditional design and provide a close match for look and feel, whilst allowing for the modern elements, such as better draught proofing and double-glazed glass.
