Replacement windows
Victorian terraces want sliding sashes, and the casements many were given in the 1970s and 1980s rarely did them justice. uPVC sashes put the proportions back without the upkeep of timber.

Holtye Windows in Redhill
Built around a junction
Redhill exists because of the railway. It was a hamlet until the London to Brighton line and its station arrived in 1841, and the town that grew round the junction is Victorian at heart, with terraces climbing the slopes either side and the commons at Redhill and Earlswood never far away.
We are ten miles to the south-east in East Grinstead, and cover Redhill, Earlswood, Merstham and the Nutfields. The survey and the written quote are free.
What we fit
Windows, doors and conservatories for Redhill homes
Supplied, fitted and guaranteed for 10 years by our own team. Nothing is subcontracted.
New doors
A narrow terrace gains most from its back wall: bifold doors across a rear extension bring light into rooms that never had much. At the front, a composite door in a four-panel Victorian style suits the street.
Conservatories and extensions
On terraced plots a side-return or rear extension usually earns more than a conservatory. We build both, and can replace the roof on a conservatory that is too hot or too cold to use.
Home improvements
Plastering, flooring and kitchens come from the same group, which helps when new doors are part of a bigger change to the back of the house.
Homes in Redhill
Railway terraces, Arts and Crafts houses and suburbia
Much of the old town centre was rebuilt between the 1960s and the 1980s. The streets round it were not.
The first growth was Warwick Town, mid-Victorian houses built for railway workers and commuters. Linkfield Street is Victorian too, and up by the common at St John’s there are Arts and Crafts houses. Local clay gave the town its red stock brick, with London stocks and painted stucco nearer the station, and sash windows throughout.
Further out, the borough’s own character study describes the housing as 1930s to 1950s suburbia: semis and short terraces towards Earlswood and Meadvale, and the post-war estates beyond.
A Victorian terrace needs sliding sashes to look right. A 1930s semi wants its casements and its bay put back in good order. We fit both.

Local planning
Planning permission for windows and doors in Redhill
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council decides planning applications in Redhill until 31 March 2027, when the new East Surrey Council takes over the whole of east Surrey.
Redhill’s conservation areas are the town centre, Linkfield Street, Shaw’s Corner, St John’s and Redstone Hill, with Merstham Village and Wray Common close by. The borough says Article 4 directions have been served on most of its conservation areas, so planning permission is generally required to replace windows on a house inside one. Flats and commercial buildings need it in any case, and the council gives changing timber windows to uPVC or aluminium as an example.
Where permission is needed, the council’s line is that original windows and doors should be repaired where possible, or replaced with new ones that match the originals in material and design.
Redhill Common, St John’s and the land round Earlswood lakes are Green Belt, and Gatton Park to the north is in the Surrey Hills. Neither affects replacement windows. Both limit extensions.
The national rules, briefly
- Replacing the windows and doors of a house does not normally need planning permission, as long as the new ones look similar to the old.
- Flats and maisonettes do not have that right, and a listed building needs listed building consent. Check with the council before changing either.
- Every replacement window and external door has to meet Building Regulations. We’re Certass registered, so we certify the work ourselves and you receive the certificate within eight weeks.
- A conservatory or single-storey rear extension is often permitted development too, within size limits that tighten in conservation areas and protected landscapes.

Questions
Redhill: your questions
Can’t see what you need? Call 01342 410079 and we’ll answer it properly.
Do I need planning permission for new windows in Redhill?
For a house outside the conservation areas, not normally, as long as the new windows look similar to the old. In a conservation area, such as Linkfield Street, St John’s or Shaw’s Corner, the borough says permission is generally required. Flats need permission for any change of material or style wherever they are.
Can uPVC sash windows really pass for the originals?
From the pavement, a good one can. The details that give a cheap sash away are thick meeting rails, flat stuck-on bars and a missing horn. The sliding sashes we fit have slim rails, run-through horns and a woodgrain finish, and are worth seeing in the showroom before you decide.
Can you fit bifold doors to a terraced house?
Yes. The opening needs a steel or concrete lintel sized for the span, which is building work we handle ourselves. On a terrace the usual place is across a rear extension, where a three or four-panel set replaces a window and a door.
Which areas around Redhill do you cover?
