The window stock in Ravelston

Ravelston is Edwardian and inter-war detached villas with mixed window stock — original 2-over-2 sashes on the 1900-1920 stock, casement and steel-frame Crittall on the 1930s additions. Several Ravelston Dykes properties have unusual leaded bay returns and steel-frame replacement is sometimes the right call.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do about my original Crittall steel windows?
Modern thermally-broken steel-look aluminium replicates the slim sightlines exactly while fixing the cold-bridge and condensation problems of original Crittall. £1,200-£1,800 per window depending on size.
Can I get heat-pump-compatible glazing in Ravelston?
Yes — slimline double glazing or new triple-glazed casements bring U-values to 0.9-1.2 W/m²K, well within heat-pump heat-loss targets. We coordinate with our heat-pump partner if you're scoping both.
How much for a full villa window upgrade?
£24,000-£42,000 for a typical 14-18 window detached Ravelston villa, including LBC paperwork (where applicable), scaffold and rebuilding internal reveals where needed.
Do you do leaded glass repair on Edwardian bay windows?
Yes — our heritage glass partner relead-came original Edwardian panels and matches missing pieces with restoration-grade glass. Most leaded panels save rather than replace at a fraction of the cost.
