A Little About Wokingham and Its Sash Windows

Wokingham’s roots as a market town stretch back to the Saxon period, and the evidence of its long history is still visible in the built fabric of the town centre; from the timber-framed buildings on Rose Street, associated with the town’s former silk trade, through to the Grade II* listed Town Hall on the Market Place, completed in 1860 to a High Victorian Gothic design by Reading architects Poulton and Woodman. But it was the arrival of the railway in 1849, when the Reading to Redhill line opened with a station at Wokingham, that triggered the residential expansion which gave the town much of its current architectural character.

Through the second half of the nineteenth century, the streets around the town centre began to fill with solid-brick terraces and semi-detached villas that are the hallmark of prosperous Victorian commuter towns. Properties of this era were built as standard with vertical sliding sash windows, typically six-over-six configurations in earlier Victorian builds, shifting to two-over-two arrangements as the century progressed and fashion favoured larger, less subdivided panes. The Edwardian period extended this growth further, producing streets of more generously proportioned houses aimed at the professional classes drawn to Wokingham’s combination of a countryside setting and reliable rail connections to London. The Murdoch Road area is the finest surviving example of this phase of development, a coherent Edwardian estate designed in the Arts and Crafts tradition by the local firm Morris & Son, and is now designated as one of Wokingham’s two town conservation areas, alongside the Wokingham Town Centre Conservation Area. Across the wider borough, Wokingham Borough Council maintains 16 designated conservation areas.

For owners of period properties within these areas, the choice of replacement window is not simply aesthetic – it is a planning matter. Like-for-like timber sash replacement is the approach that conservation officers expect and that planning authorities support. Substituting timber for uPVC, or altering proportions and glazing configurations, is likely to require planning permission and may well be refused. If your property sits within a conservation area and you are considering any work to your windows, it is worth reading our guide to replacing sash windows in conservation areas before you begin.

As both a manufacturer and an installer, The Specialist in Sash Windows occupies a position that relatively few companies in this sector can claim. Every window we supply for properties in Wokingham and the surrounding RG40 area is made in our own Surrey workshop, giving us direct control over specification, profile, glazing bar detail, and timber quality from the outset. That matters particularly for conservation areas and heritage work, where getting the proportions precisely right is the difference between a window that satisfies a planning officer and one that does not. We have been manufacturing and fitting traditional timber sash windows since 1999, and our knowledge of what works in Wokingham’s period housing stock is built on genuine, long-standing local experience.
