What’s Actually Included in the Price of a New Sash Window? (And What’s Not)

What’s Included: Your Fully Finished Box Sash Window

1. The New Box Frame & Double-Glazed Sashes

• Handcrafted Timber Box Frame made from premium, sustainably sourced Redwood (or Accoya if requested).
• Double-glazed timber Sashes are fully draught sealed and designed to match period property styles with traditional glazing bars.
• Authentic Detailing, including horns, mouldings, and profiles that stay true to your home’s architecture.

2. Fully Painted in The Workshop, No On-Site Painting Needed

• Factory spray-finished with a durable, long-lasting microporous paint system.
• Only an extra top coat to the inside frame and architraves is required on site, which saves time, avoids mess, and ensures a flawless finish.
• Choose any colour, including dual-colour (inside/outside) combinations.

3. A Complete Installation, Not Just the Window

• New hardwood window sill – fitted as part of the new frame.
• New internal architraves and linings – for a clean, finished look inside your home.
• All new sash weights and cords – correctly balanced for smooth, long-lasting operation.
• Quality ironmongery – choose your finish for sash lifts, fasteners, and security stops (e.g., polished chrome, satin chrome or brass).
• Draught sealing throughout the system for improved energy efficiency.
• Removal and disposal of your old windows and frames, done for you.

 

 

What’s Not Included and Why

We’re up front about what’s priced separately, so there are no surprises.

• Scaffolding, if needed for access (e.g. dormers or windows in loft conversions) we’ll clearly itemise this in your written estimate.
• Internal redecoration of the wall surfaces surrounding the frame.
• Specialist glazing options like stained, leaded, or patterned glass are available on request and quoted separately.

Why This Matters: The Novells Difference

Most companies give you a window; we give you a finished installation.

It’s not uncommon for homeowners to realise after the fact that their installer didn’t include:

• Internal finishings (like bullnose, linings or architraves)
• Painting or sealing
• Proper sash weights or draught-proofing

With Novells Sash Windows, every window is complete the day we leave, fully painted, professionally fitted, and built to last for decades.
