Looking for Replacement Victorian Sash Windows?
Victorian Sash Windows date back to the 1800s, and like anything, over time, they become worn and start failing to do the ever-important job of keeping your home warm and draught-proofed..
Since moving into your home, you may have noticed that your wooden Victorian sash windows have become stiff and hard to operate. This is due to the layers of thick oil based paint layered on the wood over the years, making them stiff or painting them shut entirely. The wood also naturally swells during the wet seasons after being exposed to the harsh London weather.
Replacing them with our sturdy, handcrafted Victorian windows, made from the absolute best quality materials, means that you can have beautiful and elegant wooden sash windows that work perfectly in your home. So if you’re looking for replacement Victorian Sash Windows, get in touch with our team for more information.

Beyond stunning looks from the inside and out of your home, new Victorian windows will be much easier to use than your old ones, which may have become stiff and hard to operate.
They will also provide other benefits such as higher levels of security, noise reduction and draught proofing.
Victorian windows either have two clear panes of glass, or four panes of glass that are separated by a thin wooden strip running from the top to the bottom of the glass.
This is due to the Victorians being able to produce larger individual panels of glass, unlike the Georgians, who had to use smaller panes of glass.
The traditional Victorian window frames are made out of timber and come in a variety of designs, including curved or straight sections. The glass used is usually bevelled or patterned, depending on the desired look.
Edwardian windows often have multiple panes of glass, split by wooden strips on the top sash, and one large pane of glass on the bottom one.
Victorian sash windows either have two clear panes of glass, or four panes that are separated by a wooden strip. The frames are generally narrower than Edwardian windows.
Georgian sash windows are often large and detailed, featuring 6 or more small panes of glass, put together in a symmetrical pattern and held together by wooden strips. They are usually the most ornate of all three styles.
Each window has its own unique features, but all three sash windows. The choice between these window types often comes down to personal preference and house design, as each type has its own set of benefits.
In short, yes. Our double-glazed Victorian sash windows come with the best draught-proofing, making your home extremely warm and in turn, more energy efficient.
Victorian windows require regular upkeep to keep them looking their best and operating smoothly. This includes cleaning 4 times a year as standard and painting every 4-6 years for standard windows, and 8-10 years on our Accoya windows.
Periodically checking the frames for signs of rot or decay is also important. Where possible, repairs should be carried out as soon as they are noticed to prevent further damage. If a more extensive repair is needed, it is wise to seek professional assistance from a specialist window.

Jon Chan, Camden
Albi and team were very helpful and efficient, accommodation some changes and making helpful suggestions during the initial requirements gathering phase. Finished product is excellent after an efficient install. The shutter company we subsequently used said they’d never seen such perfect sash windows. See More.
Ceeri Heasman, Putney
Following a recommendation from a neighbour we used Todi & Boys to replace all our old sliding sash windows with double-glazed versions of the same. Price quote was lower than other companies we’d had to quote, work was carried out quickly & efficiently & there was very minimal damage to the interior (something I was worried about). Have already recommended to friends & looking forward to a cosy Winter with our draft-free new windows! See More.
Mike Sims, Clapham
Todi and Boys have over the last few years, installed six double glazed sash windows for us. Our expectations are high and the company have exceeded what we hoped for, with quality, service and workmanship in every single window. So when we needed a new front door and frame, Todi and Boys were our first choice. Having just completed the work on the new door, we are absolutely thrilled with it both with the quality and finish which are superb.. From start to finish, the care and attention has been amazing, even the invite to view their factory and to select the right colour for the door. Todi and boys are a family run business and the whole team go the extra mile to give you the service . quality and workmanship that many other companies do not provide. We have no hesitation in highly recommending them for anyone needing new doors or windows. See More.

I recently had the sash windows in three rooms replaced by Todi and Boys having seen their van in the area and looked at their website. Their workmanship was excellent both in production and fitting.

Over the years, I have had Todi & boys replace all the sash windows and casement windows in my house including the front bay, and my French doors onto the garden.

Todi and boys recently arranged and installed two double glazed sash windows in our Victorian terraced house. Extremely happy with both the quality of the windows themselves as well as the professionalism and general attitude of the workmen that came to fit them. Service has been fantastic throughout the process and would definitely use them again. See More.
Jane Jones, London
I cannot recommend Todi and Boys highly enough. We are delighted with the quality of our new replacement sash window (the second we have had from the team) and are particularly grateful that the window was replaced at a very busy time before Christmas – fitting in with our plans. Ada and the team are most professional and friendly and we will definitely be using them again! See More.

Camilla Orr, Clapham
Having just had most of our sash windows replaced by them, we couldn’t recommend T&B more highly. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the whole process is managed extremely professionally and efficiently. Any questions or small issues were dealt with quickly by Shay. Given the quality and detail, we also found the quote to be competitive. See More.
Hereward Walker, Fulham
Had 5 bespoke double glazed wooden sash windows made and installed by todin and boys. Service from start to finish excellent. Quality and price of product good and the team who installed left the house immaculate. Highly recommend. See More.
Rosie Doggett, London
Our Victorian terraced house in Battersea contained the original Victorian sash windows which were draughty, painted shut in places and had been repaired many times. Most importantly we were being woken each morning at 4.30 by the first ‘plane of the day as the old windows had little decent sound-proofing. We obtained 3 quotes for our wooden Victorian-style double-glazed spray-painted sash windows and found the Todi and Boys proposal to be reasonably priced and of the best technical specification. We visited their workshop in Putney and we were impressed by the quality of their workmanship. See More.
