Sash windows for Leicester’s Victorian and Edwardian streets
Leicester’s finest sash stock lines Clarendon Park, Stoneygate and pockets of Highfields, and the New Walk conservation area protects some of the city’s oldest surviving Regency and early Victorian townhouses. Legacy Windows introduces homeowners to sash specialists who quote a fixed price for a full timber replacement or a heritage restoration that keeps the original box in place.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit slim double-glazed sashes in Clarendon Park? Usually yes. Leicester City Council conservation officers typically approve slim 12 to 14 mm units that match the original profile and horn detail. Full 24 mm units on street elevations are usually refused. Stoneygate is one of the stricter areas.
How much does a full sash restoration cost compared with replacement? Restoring the original box with new draught-proofed sashes and slim units typically runs 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than a full timber replacement, and it preserves the listed fabric. Both options appear as line items on quotes from our panel.
Is Listed Building Consent needed for internal-only sash work? Yes for any listed building, whether the change is inside or outside. Leicester City Council administers consent and usually responds inside eight weeks.
