Sliding Sash Windows in Shaftesbury
Shaftesbury is where we are based, and we know its houses well. The hilltop Saxon town is full of greensand stone cottages, many tucked along the lanes around Gold Hill and Park Walk, alongside elegant Georgian and Victorian townhouses on the High Street, Bimport and Salisbury Street. A good number of these were built with vertical sliding sashes, and keeping their character matters to the people who live in them. Towards Wincombe and Mampitts the homes are newer, but some owners there also choose sashes for a more traditional look.
The Roseview Ultimate Rose is our first recommendation for period homes in the town. It is mechanically jointed in the manner of traditional joinery, has a slim 35mm meeting rail and is double glazed as standard with an A rating, so it looks right and keeps the warmth in. The Roseview Rose Collection gives a broader palette of colours and woodgrains. Kenny surveys every job himself, and our own team handles every installation.
Sash Windows for Shaftesbury’s Hilltop Homes
A large part of central Shaftesbury is a conservation area, and many of the older buildings around Gold Hill and the High Street are listed. Dorset Council is the planning authority, and consent may be needed depending on your property; Kenny will advise before anything is ordered. Greensand stone has a warm, slightly green-grey tone, so off-white, cream and soft sage finishes tend to sit well against it. Cottages often look best with a simple horn and a modest bar pattern, while the grander townhouses can carry a fuller Georgian layout with more ornate horns.

Sliding Sash Windows in Shaftesbury: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Shaftesbury do you cover?
We cover the whole of Shaftesbury, from Enmore Green and Cann to the town centre, plus Melbury Abbas, Motcombe, Fontmell Magna, Donhead St Andrew, Semley, Ludwell and on to Gillingham.
Do I need permission to replace sash windows near Gold Hill?
Possibly. If the house is listed, you will usually need listed building consent, and Dorset Council may require timber, which we can also supply and fit. Many unlisted homes in the conservation area can take a well-detailed uPVC sash, and the Roseview Ultimate Rose is often a sympathetic choice there. Being based in the town, Kenny knows the area well and will advise on your particular property.
What makes the Roseview Ultimate Rose look like a timber sash?
It has a slim 35mm meeting rail, true mechanically jointed construction with the joints arranged like traditional joinery, and seamless run-through sash horns in several styles. From the street it reads like a well-made timber sash, without the regular painting.
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 do sliding sash windows cost?
It depends on the number and size of the windows, the range you choose, the colour, the horns 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.
