  • I'm looking to replace some of the sash windows in my flat. A fair few are currently rotten, a couple with cracked glass, etc. I'd like to replace with double glazing and something that doesn't need constant maintenance.

    Any suggestions for what to look at and also companies in North London? Cheers

  • If it's a flat, do you actually own the windows, or does the freeholder?

    People like sash windows, but I don't know if they like them enough to make it worth paying extra over casements for double glazed replacement sashes.
    Can you get a grant due to it making the flat more energy efficient?

  • It's a Victorian/Edwardian house split into two flats. Myself and the owner of the other flat share the freeholder and I'm responsible for all in my flat.

    I will be leaving the windows at the front as they are (they're in reasonable condition and have nice stained glass in them) so it's really the ones at the back that I will never see from the outside. As such, I'm not too fussed by the looks but I would prefer to avoid basic uPVC. There seems to be a massive range of alternatives but with very little detail on durability, etc.

    I'll have a look into grants, it's way down on the energy efficiency scale at the moment.
