At Mortice & Green, we specialise in manufacturing and installing replacement double glazed sash windows for period properties throughout London. As a family-run business established in 1994, we have over 30 years of experience producing bespoke hardwood sash windows that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern energy efficiency. Every window is manufactured in our independent workshop using premium-quality oak and hardwood, carefully designed to replicate the original appearance of your existing windows while providing all the benefits of modern double glazing. Whether your property requires complete window replacement or bespoke reproduction windows for a listed building or conservation area, our experienced in-house team delivers exceptional workmanship and outstanding customer care from start to finish.

Beautiful Hardwood Sash Windows Designed to Last

Original timber sash windows add character and elegance to any property, but after decades of exposure to the elements, some windows reach a stage where repair is no longer the most practical solution. When this happens, our bespoke replacement double glazed sash windows provide the ideal alternative.

Each window is individually manufactured to match the exact proportions, glazing bars, mouldings and architectural details of your original windows. This ensures your new windows retain the traditional appearance of your property while offering the durability and performance expected from a modern installation.

Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our replacement sash windows are handcrafted using high-quality hardwoods, providing exceptional strength, longevity and resistance to the British climate. Every installation is carried out by our experienced restorative joiners, ensuring a flawless finish and smooth operation for many years to come.

All of our replacement sash windows are backed by an industry-leading 25-year guarantee, giving you complete confidence in the quality of your investment.

Modern Performance with Traditional Character

Our replacement double glazed sash windows are designed to improve the comfort and efficiency of your home without compromising its period appearance.

Modern double glazing significantly reduces heat loss, helping to improve energy efficiency and lower heating costs throughout the year. It also helps minimise external noise, making your home quieter and more comfortable, particularly in busy areas of London.

Where appropriate, we manufacture bespoke reproduction sash windows suitable for conservation areas and listed buildings, carefully matching the original design while meeting conservation requirements wherever possible. Our team has extensive experience working with conservation officers and understands the importance of preserving the architectural character of historic properties.

Whether you require traditional single glazing or slimline double glazing, every project is tailored to suit your property’s individual requirements, ensuring the finished result complements the original building perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are replacement double glazed sash windows?

Replacement double glazed sash windows are new-made sash windows that replace existing original single-glazed sashes while retaining the traditional sliding sash operation and period appearance. Mortice & Green manufactures these windows in hardwood – primarily English or European oak – with slimline double glazed units fitted within the sash frames. They replicate the proportions, moulding profiles, and visual character of the original windows while providing significantly improved thermal performance.

Are replacement double glazed sash windows permitted in conservation areas in London?

This depends on the specific conservation area and local planning authority. Some conservation areas permit sympathetically designed hardwood double glazed replacements where they match the style and proportions of the originals. Others require retention of the existing windows with in-situ double glazing of the existing frames. Mortice & Green advises on the specific requirements for your conservation area as part of every free survey, and our reproduction windows are designed to meet conservation officer specifications where replacement is permitted.

How much do replacement double glazed sash windows cost in London?

The cost of replacement double glazed sash windows depends on the size, number, and specification of the windows required. Bespoke hardwood reproduction sash windows are a premium product – pricing reflects the quality of the materials, the skilled joinery involved, and the slimline double glazing units used. Mortice & Green provides detailed quotations following a free survey. Contact us on 020 7118 9191 to arrange a site visit and discuss your requirements.

How long does it take to manufacture and install replacement double glazed sash windows?

Bespoke hardwood sash windows are manufactured to order at our workshop. Lead times vary depending on current production schedules – typically between four and eight weeks from order confirmation to installation. We give you a clear delivery and installation programme at the time of ordering. Installation of the new windows is typically completed within a day for a standard residential property.

What timber do you use for replacement sash windows?

Mortice & Green uses English and European hardwood – primarily oak – for the manufacture of all our replacement sash windows. Oak is an exceptional timber for external joinery: it is dense, dimensionally stable, naturally resistant to rot, and capable of being machined to the fine profiles required for period-accurate reproduction windows. All timber is sourced from responsibly managed sources.
