Double glazing in Winchmore Hill

Winchmore Hill still feels like a village, with its green, its old cottages and its Victorian shops, and it sits right next to our showroom area in Southgate. We fit windows, doors and conservatories across N21, including Grange Park and the roads around Grovelands Park.

The houses here range from some of the oldest in the borough to large interwar family homes, so we tailor every window to the house rather than fitting one standard product everywhere.

Cottages, Victorian terraces and Arts and Crafts houses

Around The Green, Wades Hill, Church Hill and Station Road you will find early 18th century houses, weatherboarded cottages and Victorian terraces built between the 1860s and 1890s, most with tall sash windows. Further out are the Edwardian and 1930s streets, and in Grange Park the large Arts and Crafts houses of the Grange Park estate, built from 1907.

For cottages and Victorian terraces we usually fit vertical sliding sash windows or flush sash casements that look like traditional timber. For the larger interwar houses, uPVC or slim aluminium windows are both good choices, and we explain the difference on our uPVC or aluminium page.

Winchmore Hill conservation area

The centre of Winchmore Hill is a conservation area, and Enfield Council's appraisal lists replacing timber windows with uPVC as one of the main threats to its character. An Article 4 direction means some changes that would normally be allowed need planning permission here.

If your house is in the conservation area, we check this at the survey and recommend windows that keep the proportions, glazing bars and opening style of the originals, so you get modern double glazing that still looks right on the street.
