Double Glazing in Sherborne
Sherborne is one of the finest towns in Dorset, and its homes deserve windows that do them justice. The centre around the Abbey and Cheap Street is full of honey-coloured Ham stone buildings, while the newer homes on the edges of town and in villages like Milborne Port, Bradford Abbas and Longburton have needs of their own. Many of them still have double glazing fitted twenty or thirty years ago, with misted units and worn seals letting the heat out.
Goldhill Glazing is a family-run window and door company based in Shaftesbury. We take on fewer projects than the big names so every installation gets the time it needs. Kenny surveys every home himself, and your windows are fitted by our own team from start to finish.
Golden Ham stone gives Sherborne its warmth, and many of its period townhouses and cottages are listed. Where old double glazing has failed in these buildings, replacement should be guided by what suits the stonework, and consent from Dorset Council may be needed; Kenny will look into this with you at the survey. Plenty of homes around Castleton and out in Yetminster and Bradford Abbas are later builds, where the priority is simply warmer, quieter rooms and windows that lock securely. Either way, our own team handles the fitting from start to finish.
Double Glazing for Ham Stone and Listed Homes
Much of Sherborne’s centre is a conservation area and the town has a large number of listed buildings, so replacement windows need to suit the stone and the proportions of the building. Some will need consent from Dorset Council, and Kenny will advise on what is likely to be accepted.
Our flush casement windows and sliding sash windows give older homes modern double glazing without losing their character, and our timber windows are available where only the real thing will do. Recent work in the town includes a timber-look door and a Sussex-style door.

Double Glazing in Sherborne: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Sherborne do you cover?
Sherborne and the surrounding villages, including Milborne Port, Bradford Abbas, Longburton, Yetminster, Thornford and Castleton, as well as Yeovil and Stalbridge.
Can I have double glazing on a listed or Ham stone house?
Often, yes. Much of Sherborne is a conservation area and listed buildings need consent from Dorset Council. Flush casement, sliding sash and timber windows are usually the best fit for these homes, and Kenny will talk you through the options during the survey.
My double glazing has misted up. Do I need new windows?
Not always. Mist or condensation between the panes means the seal on the glass unit has failed. If the frames are still in good condition, new glass units can sometimes be enough. If the frames are old or draughty, or the locks are worn, new windows are usually better value. Kenny will look at them and tell you honestly which makes more sense.
Do new windows need Building Regulations approval?
Replacement windows must meet Building Regulations. We are FENSA registered, so we certify the work ourselves and you receive a FENSA certificate once the installation is complete. You will need it if you ever sell your home.
What guarantee do your windows come with?
Frames and sealed glass units are guaranteed for 10 years, hardware for 2 years and our workmanship for 10 years, all backed by an insurance-backed guarantee through HomePro.
How much does double glazing cost?
It depends on the number and size of the windows, the style, the colour and the glass. Every window is made to measure, so the only way to give an accurate price is to survey your home. The survey and quote are free, and we are rarely beaten on price for a genuine like-for-like quotation.
