If you are looking for double glazing in Burnham, we are about as close as a fabricator gets. Our workshop is at Coningsby Farm in Fifield, roughly five or six miles away by road and typically around 15 minutes’ drive, so Burnham is one of the places we visit most. We make aluminium windows and doors ourselves, supply UPVC and composite alongside them, and fit everything with our own team.

A village that grew towards Slough
Burnham was once more important than Maidenhead; its market drifted away after the first Maidenhead Bridge pulled the road south in the thirteenth century. What is left is a compact historic High Street and Church Street, now almost joined to west Slough but kept apart by green space. Around that core the parish spreads into Lent Rise, Rose Hill, East Burnham, Hitcham, Littleworth and Littleworth Common, and the homes change accordingly: older cottages and shops near St Peter’s Church, then a broad spread of twentieth-century family houses, semis and bungalows on the roads leading out towards the station and the M4.
That mix shapes what people ask us for. Owners of mid-century semis often want to replace tired first-generation UPVC with something slimmer and better sealed. Bungalow owners tend to focus on wide sliding doors to the garden. In the historic centre, the question is usually what the council will accept.
The Burnham Conservation Area and planning
The Burnham Conservation Area was designated in 1977 and covers about ten hectares around the High Street and Church Street. It contains around 40 listed buildings, with the Church of St Peter at Grade II*. Burnham falls under Buckinghamshire Council, which publishes a character appraisal and map for the area. If your home is listed or sits inside the boundary, check with Buckinghamshire Council before you order anything, as front elevations and listed fabric are where decisions get made. We can supply drawings, sightline details and colour options to support an application. Our guide to planning permission for replacement windows explains the general picture.
Living near Burnham Beeches, the M4 and the Elizabeth line
Burnham Beeches, the 540-acre National Nature Reserve of ancient woodland just north of the village, brings leafy roads and a fair amount of leaf litter to gutters and sills, so we are often asked about fascias, soffits and guttering at the same visit. At the southern end of the parish the M4 runs through, and homes closer to the motorway or the Paddington line feel the traffic. Well-sealed double glazing with a decent air gap reduces that noticeably, and secondary glazing is an option where the original windows must stay.
Burnham station sits on the line between Paddington and Reading and is now served by the Elizabeth line, which has made the village more attractive to commuters. Plenty of people who move here inherit windows fitted thirty or more years ago, with misted units, worn hinges and handles that no longer lock properly. Replacing them is usually as much about security and comfort as appearance, and it is something we can look at room by room if you prefer to spread the cost.
What we would suggest for Burnham homes
- Inter-war and post-war semis: Reynaers SlimLine 68 aluminium windows, an outward-opening casement with narrow frames, or our Cortizo and Alunet ranges. Aluminium windows start from £400.
- Budget-led replacements: UPVC windows on the Selecta Advance 70 system, including woodgrain finishes if you want a timber look. We do not make timber windows.
- Bungalows and garden rooms: Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 sliding doors, or Smart Visofold and Cortizo bifolds where you want the whole opening clear.
- Front entrances: composite doors, which suit cottages and modern houses alike.
- Extra space: conservatories, orangeries, porches and roof lanterns.
How a Burnham job runs
Because we are so close, we can usually offer a survey slot quickly. We measure every opening, talk through product and colour choices, and check anything that might affect planning. Your frames are then made at Fifield, with lead times from 10 days on aluminium, and fitted by the same team that made them. Every installation carries our 10-year guarantee. For a sense of budget before we visit, see our double glazing cost guide.
We also cover nearby areas regularly, including Taplow, Hitcham, Dropmore and Littleworth Common, and further north into High Wycombe and Chalfont St Peter. Our Buckinghamshire windows and doors page covers the wider county.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take you to get to Burnham?
Our workshop and team are based at Fifield, near Windsor, roughly five or six miles from Burnham by road. The drive is typically around 15 minutes, so surveys, installations and any follow-up visits are straightforward to arrange. We do not have a showroom in Burnham; everything is made and run from Fifield.
Can I replace windows in the Burnham Conservation Area?
Often yes, but the decision belongs to Buckinghamshire Council, not to us. The conservation area covers the High Street and Church Street and includes around 40 listed buildings. Check with the council before ordering, particularly for front elevations or listed homes. We can provide drawings, profiles and colour samples to support any application you make.
Will new windows cut motorway noise in south Burnham?
Good double glazing that is properly sealed into the opening usually makes a clear difference to road noise from the M4 and the railway. The frame seals and fitting matter as much as the glass. Where original windows have to stay, secondary glazing is another way to reduce noise, and we can discuss both at the survey.
How much are aluminium windows for a Burnham semi?
Our aluminium windows start from £400 per window, but the final figure depends on sizes, opening styles, colours and how many windows you are replacing. A typical Burnham semi varies a lot in layout, so we quote after a free survey. Our double glazing cost guide gives a useful starting point before we visit.
Do you make timber windows for older Burnham cottages?
No, we do not make timber windows or doors. For a timber look, we offer woodgrain-finish UPVC and aluminium, and composite doors with woodgrain textures. Whether these are acceptable on an older cottage, especially in the conservation area or on a listed building, is a question to check with Buckinghamshire Council first.
