Why Sherborne homes choose sash windows

Every sash windows enquiry from Sherborne starts with the same question from us: what are the frames actually doing? For period-property owners, that answer usually points back to draughty old timber casements rotting at cills or upvc plastic looking wrong against hamstone — and we spec accordingly.
We spec sash windows for Sherborne the way we do for every market town in Dorset: by looking at the openings, the aspect and the surrounding builds — in this case honey-coloured hamstone townhouses, georgian school-related housing, victorian terraces — before quoting a single frame.
