It is such a treat when I return to the UK to see the windows which adorn the houses there. I live in darkest Africa and only the oldest, most well preserved houses have these. In my grandmothers’ home in Yorkshire, there were sash windows. Brilliant for letting in lots of light in and otherwise gloomy land! I am sentimental about these windows and sash window repairs in London can maintain and protect the historical integrity of your home.

The architectural facade of a city tells you and visitors a good deal about the type of people who live there. These windows are prominent features of the architecture, therefore their preservation is not just a sentimental yearning of a distant ex-pat. They look lovely and serve the purpose they were designed for, to allow you to see out and the light to flood into a room.

Regents Park is one of my favorite London areas, mainly because of the architecture, but most determinedly because of the sheer magnitude of the windows in these buildings, they are bigger than stable doors. They make for a very impressive sight and if they were lost, these buildings would not impress nearly so much.

The charm of these windows shows in a large variety of buildings, and London has plenty of this. They feature in magnificent edifices such as St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, and much domestic housing architecture.

Just outside of London in Hillingdon the recently refurbished Burr Hall provides a prime example of how a Victorian building looked in its heyday, and top of the shopping list for the listing council, was to have the sash windows replaced. What was once nearly a ruin has been restored to it former greatness and is now an incredibly beautiful building.

Home and business owners in London can do their bit to preserve these important features of the architecture of this great city, and they will find many repairs and refurbishment companies who are willing to help.
