Why choose uPVC sash windows?
Many Bristol homes — particularly Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Clifton, Bishopston, Redland, and Bedminster — have traditional sliding sash windows. When these need replacing, homeowners want to keep the original appearance while gaining modern insulation, security, and low maintenance.
uPVC sash windows replicate the look of traditional timber sash — deep bottom rails and woodgrain finishes — without the painting, rot, or draughts. They cost more than standard casement windows, but for the right property the appearance is worth it.
Features
- Sliding operation — both sashes slide vertically, just like the originals
- Tilt-in cleaning — sashes tilt inwards so you can clean from inside
- Period proportions — deep bottom rail matches the original look
- Colour options — white, cream, anthracite grey, or woodgrain
- A-rated double glazing — dramatically better than single-glazed originals
When sash windows make sense
- Replacing old timber sash windows that are draughty, rotten, or painted shut
- Matching existing sash windows on a property where some have already been replaced
- Homeowners who prefer the traditional look but want modern performance
What does it cost?
uPVC sash windows cost more than standard casement windows because of their more complex mechanism and manufacturing. As a rough guide:
| Window type | Typical price (+ VAT) |
|---|---|
| Single sash window, fitted on its own | About £1,000–£1,200 (£1,200–£1,440 inc) |
| Full front elevation (Victorian terrace, 5–6 sash windows) | About £5,000–£7,000 (£6,000–£8,400 inc) |
These are rough guides — things like finishing the inside in timber or plaster change the price, as do size and quantity. We'll measure up, discuss options, and give you a clear written quote — no pressure.
Not sure whether to go sash or casement?
If your home currently has sash windows and you want to keep the character, sash replacements are the natural choice. If you're less concerned about matching the original style and want the most cost-effective option, casement windows will do the same job for less.
We're happy to show you both options during a site visit. Part of our full uPVC window installation service in Bristol.
