Windows and doors in Buckingham
Windows and doors in Buckingham - a Georgian market town with listed frontages, plus modern housing at Lace Hill and Badgers.
Fitting in Buckingham
Buckingham is thirty minutes north of Aylesbury: a Georgian market town rebuilt after the fire of 1725, with a listed core and a substantial modern edge.
Georgian core, modern edges
Around the Market Hill, West Street and Castle Street the frontages are Georgian, many of them listed, with tall sash openings and fine glazing bars. Sash replacement here is precision work and often needs consent.
Beyond the centre, Victorian terraces run out along Nelson Street and Moreton Road, and the newer estates at Lace Hill, Badgers and Page Hill are conventional modern housing where composite doors, bi-folds and casement upgrades are the everyday work.

Listed frontages and the conservation area
Buckingham's conservation area covers the Georgian centre and includes a large number of listed buildings. Window replacement on those properties needs listed building consent, and the accepted solution is usually a slim timber or timber-alternative sash in the original proportions.
On the newer estates, no planning is involved and the installation is certified through FENSA.
