sash windows, advice or recommendations

[bonaome]

We have aluminium framed windows in the front of our Victorian house and I would like to replace with timber sash.

Any recommendations / advice on ...

- Who to get quotes from?

- Accoya or hardwood? (I'm leaning towards accoya).

Mucha appreciated.

I've recently had all my windows in an Edwardian house replaced with double-glazed timber windows - mostly sash. I used RG Windows based in Staines. They cover parts of South London (I'm in SE5). They were very helpful and flexible, so so far so good (it's only been a matter of weeks - ask me in a year if the windows are holding!). I also got a quote from London Box Sash in Tulse Hill - they were quite a lot more expensive but also seemed good. I think they use all accoya unless you specify something different.

I used SJB sash windows to do six windows a couple of years ago (three were the front bay).

They were helpful, knowledgeable and reliable, and the windows are lovely and very well priced.

I intend to use them again when I get other windows replaced.

They have various options which they will explain to you.

Definitely worth getting them to visit, explain their windows and give you a quote.

Hello, I'm considering using RG Windows to replace my sash windows, also in SE5. I know it's only been 2 months since you had yours installed but I was just wondering how they were standing up to the bizarre weather we've been having since then?
