How it works around our way is that a local carpenter / builder sorts you out. Find someone local who's had it done, ask them who they used.
Then there's the outfits like this lot who we visited because we were looking to get the front door done too. Their stuff looked great but we backed away a bit because it wasn't clear how much making good internally and externally we would need and who would be supplying that. We got our existing 80s windows refurbed in the end.
I've heard timber frame + double glazing is a bit of a recipe for pain but not sure how much truth there is in that.

Just booked in with https://www.londonsash.com/ in SE5. Used them for replacement sashes in the old flat a few years ago and are getting full replacement from them this time.
Other companies quoted much higher (or refused outright) to do full replacement, plus we like what they did previously. They’ll repair damage to plaster but not repaint walls, which suits our redecorating plans anyway.

I used this guy. He was excellent (did a lot of repair as well as new units into the existing frames). Handmade units with sapele and double glazing and weights were balanced so it was still easy to open. He loves his sash windows and was a real perfectionist.

Has anyone had sash windows replaced? Looking for timber framed double glazed units for a Victorian terraced house in Hackney. Any recommendations/no goes would be great to hear about
