Customisation & Professional Installation for Projects in Essex

Each sash window is made to order, with FSC® or PEFC-certified timber, multiple glazing specifications, and a range of finishes to meet project requirements. Every detail can be tailored, ensuring windows align with design intent, performance needs and planning conditions.

Our end-to-end service covers site surveys, technical support, manufacturing and installation, providing contractors and architects in Essex with a reliable partner throughout the build programme. With experience across both residential and commercial developments, Lomax + Wood deliver precision, compliance and long-term value.

Authentic Design for Essex Developments

Our bespoke timber sash windows replicate original sightlines while satisfying planning and conservation requirements. Options include box sash windows with traditional weights-and-pulleys or spring sash systems designed for ease of use. Each product provides heritage authenticity without compromising project specifications.

In towns such as Chelmsford, Colchester and Maldon—where planning conditions demand sensitivity to historic streetscapes—our sash windows meet the highest standards for replacement and extension projects. For developers and project managers, this ensures smooth approvals and installations that respect the local built environment.

Modern Performance & Efficiency

Lomax + Wood’s double-glazed sash windows incorporate advanced units designed for optimal thermal performance and acoustic control. PAS 24-tested options and internally glazed designs provide added security to meet current building standards.

This allows Essex projects—from urban developments in Brentwood to coastal properties in Southend—to benefit from lower energy demand and durable performance while retaining a traditional appearance. The result is a solution that meets both client expectations and regulatory benchmarks.

New Timber Sash Windows

Our Essex-based team collaborates with local developers and architectural firms who specialise in creating contemporary homes throughout Essex and the surrounding areas. Their clients often request custom-made timber sash windows, which help achieve the classic appearance of a traditional Period property typically found in rural Essex estates, despite using modern construction techniques.

If you’re interested in seeing how contemporary properties or new builds can be enhanced with traditional-style sash windows, take a look at our recent involvement with the construction of a fabulous mansion in Great Maplestead, Essex.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our wooden sash windows, from their customisation and installation to maintenance and heritage compliance.

What are the benefits of wooden sash windows?

Wooden sash windows offer a timeless aesthetic, exceptional build quality, and the ability to meet conservation and heritage requirements. They also provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance.

How should I maintain my wooden sash windows?

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive materials, lubrication of hardware, and application of specified maintenance products will ensure long-lasting performance and appearance.

Do sash window replacements in Essex conservation areas require approval?

Yes. Many Essex towns such as Colchester, Maldon and Saffron Walden fall within conservation or heritage zones. Replacement sliding sash windows generally require local authority approval to ensure they match the property’s original style. Lomax + Wood design products that comply with conservation standards while offering modern performance benefits.

Can double-glazed sash windows be used in listed buildings across Essex?

In most listed buildings, traditional appearance is essential. Lomax + Wood provide single-glazed timber sash windows with traditional putty glazing where required, while also offering double-glazed sash windows for permitted projects, ensuring both heritage authenticity and improved energy efficiency.

What types of wood do you use for your sash windows?

We use high-quality, sustainably sourced timber to ensure our sash windows are durable, eco-friendly, and beautifully crafted for long-lasting performance.

Are sash windows suitable for commercial and new-build projects in Essex?

Absolutely. While sash windows are essential for heritage and period properties, they are also used in new builds, extensions, and commercial projects where a traditional aesthetic is required alongside modern performance standards.
