Timber sash and slimline glazing across York

Frequently asked questions
Will I need Listed Building Consent from City of York Council? If your property is listed, always. On unlisted properties inside the historic core or an Article 4 area, planning consent is normally required for any street-facing sash change, and the conservation officer typically requires timber, matching glazing bar profiles and slim double glazing.
Is slimline double glazing thermally effective? Yes. Modern 12–14mm sealed units with warm-edge spacers, low-e coatings and argon fill achieve Uw values of 1.4 to 1.6 W/m²K — Part L compliant in a Listed Building context.
How long does a bespoke timber sash quote take? Survey and joinery order usually take four to eight weeks; installation for a full house of six to twelve sashes typically runs five to twelve days on site.
