Windows and doors
Frames chosen for the house you live in
Aluminium leads, because it suits most Epsom houses. uPVC is the sensible choice on many semis, and timber is there for the streets and buildings that need it.
Aluminium windows
Slimline, flush and steel-look frames that never need painting.

Book a visitPlanning first
Check permission before you choose a frame
Epsom and Ewell has 21 conservation areas. In a few of them an Article 4 direction means new front windows and doors need planning permission, and the council's guidance points to timber. Everywhere else, most houses are free to choose.
- Is the house listed?Then repair, new timber or secondary glazing, with listed building consent.
- Is there an Article 4 direction?Stamford Green, Ewell Village and Ewell Downs Road have one. Front windows need permission.
- Is it a flat?Flats have no permitted development rights, and the freeholder usually has a say too.
- None of these?Choose on looks, cost and upkeep. Aluminium and uPVC are both open to you.
Epsom houses
What suits the main house types
1930s semis
The commonest house in the borough, with a bay, casement windows and often a kitchen extension at the back. Aluminium flush casements keep the bay slim; uPVC flush comes in about a fifth lower across the whole house.
uPVC or aluminium
Victorian and Edwardian houses
The streets laid out after the common fields were enclosed in 1869, and the terraces of the 1890s, were built with sashes. A uPVC sash in a heritage finish suits most of them; timber suits the protected few.
Sash windows
Larger detached houses
Wide openings, big gardens and plenty of glass. Slimline and steel-look aluminium pay their way here, with thin frames and a finish that needs only washing.
Aluminium windows
Why aluminium
More glass, less upkeep
Aluminium is stronger than uPVC for its size, so the frames can be narrower and a 1930s bay or a wide garden opening keeps more glass. The colour is baked on, so a grey or black frame never needs painting.
It costs more than uPVC and less than real timber. On the 1930s semi on our prices page, the aluminium version of the same job is about a quarter dearer than uPVC.
