Specialists

We’ve been patrons of the Watford Gap service station on the M1 for several decades, admittedly, not quite as long as it’s been there – it’s the oldest motorway service station in the UK, opening in 1959 – but almost. Our jaunts up and down the M1 are the stuff of legends! We’ve supplied 32 new sash windows for fine old houses, character cottages and contemporary dwellings across the Rose of the Shires. Our projects include supplying new sash windows for a traditional home on a rather famous estate (ssh… you know who) right down to a tiny, odd-sized single-hung sash for a cellar bar in the centre of Northampton. We make all our windows, so no job is too large, too small, or, frankly, too odd – our expert team have heard and seen it all!

Name: John Anderson – Pettifer Construction Ltd
Location: Wellingborough
Cost: £22,000
Project Details: We were the winning tender to restore an old shoe factory in Wellingborough. This was totally derelict, with planning permission to be converted into luxury flats. The idea was to retain the character of the old building, including all the Victorian styling but also to really deliver when it came to thermal regulation and energy efficiency in interiors characterised by high ceilings and large windows. The result not only looks fabulous, but the energy performance is excellent, just what the developer wanted.

Name: Jessica Bedlington
Location: Norton
Cost: £6,500
Project Details: Jessica had a stone cottage with an old and original outbuilding adjacent to it which she was planning to connect to the main house to create a self-contained annexe for rental. We worked closely with the conservation officer to ensure the design and the windows all matched the main cottage and were in keeping with the surrounding buildings. The final result blended the best of the old and the new, creating a mix of contemporary interior styling with a traditional exterior, and it’s now highly successful as a holiday and short-term let.

I bought my first property, which was a terraced cottage in need of repair in the village of Brixworth. It was also listed, which I thought would complicate matters hugely as I was really keen to install some new windows which actually kept the heat in the house. William Richards liaised with the local listings officer and was able to repair and refurbish my existing sash windows. Now I have something authentically, period, in line with the listings regulations, plus a nice warm, snug cottage. I’m thrilled with the results.

I took on my parent’s house, which was a large Victorian semi-detached on the outskirts of Northampton desperately in need of some care and attention. The current windows were pretty awful, uPVC double-glazed units that spoiled the look of the house, and they were old and inefficient. All the windows were replaced with timber equivalents and the designers researched other properties in the area to ensure they added the correct period detailing. Honestly, the house has been transformed, and the difference to the draught levels inside has to be experienced to be believed.

Northampton FAQs

Can you match the paint colour on my existing sash windows when you make new ones for my home?
We can match existing paint colours, so your new timber sash windows blend perfectly with those already there. We offer an infinite variety of shades of off-white with different undertones to complement perfectly older properties and period homes. All our paints are chosen for their durability and weather resistance.
How do you evaluate whether a sash window is beyond repair?
Our sister company, William Richards will always refurbish and restore old windows if they haven’t reached the point where they are beyond repair. Every window is carefully assessed, the expert team at William Richards discuss precisely what steps are needed with the customer. Subtle upgrades like new lightweight glazing and weatherproof paint are all carefully designed to fit in with the style and character of the property and all the windows will match so no one will be able to spot the restoration.
Are your new double-glazed sliding sash windows compliant with building regulations?
Our complete new sash windows comply fully with building regulations. New sashes fitted into their existing frames do not have to comply as this work is classified as refurbishment. Listed buildings are subject to different rules. We will work closely with your local listings officer to ensure we stay on the right side of the listing regulations whilst delivering something authentically correct for the building.
