Sash windows for Coventry’s surviving Victorian streets
Coventry’s sash window stock survives in the pockets that missed the worst of the 1940 Blitz: Earlsdon, Chapelfields, Radford and the Spon End weavers’ cottages. Legacy Windows introduces homeowners to sash specialists who quote a fixed price for a heritage-grade restoration or a full timber replacement matched to the original box, glazing bar and horn detail.
Why locals in Coventry choose Legacy Windows
- Typical 2026 pricing sits between £820 and £2,185 per sliding sash, reflecting Coventry’s competitive West Midlands joinery rates.

- Original glazing bar profiles, horns and putty finishes are matched to Historic England guidance for pre-1919 stock, important on Spon End’s Grade II weavers’ cottages.
- Draught proofing, modern spiral balances and acoustic laminated glass options are itemised so quotes compare cleanly.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit slim double-glazed sashes in Spon End? The Spon End weavers’ cottages are Grade II listed and require Listed Building Consent for any change. Slim 12 to 14 mm units are usually approved by Coventry City Council conservation officers where the profile and horns match the original. Full 24 mm units on street elevations are almost always refused.
How does the postwar-rebuild fabric affect sash restoration? The rebuilt centre carries very few original sashes. Most surviving sash work is in the outer suburbs of Earlsdon, Chapelfields and Radford where the 1940 raids were less severe. Joinery workshops on our panel focus on these areas.
Is a full timber replacement always more expensive than restoration? Usually yes. Restoring the existing box with slim units and modern balances typically runs 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than a like-for-like timber replacement.
Windows and doors in Coventry - local context

Dominant era of housing stock: Postwar rebuild in the centre, interwar and Victorian in the suburbs.
