A market town inside a national park
Petersfield lies wholly within the South Downs National Park, which shapes how changes to its buildings are judged. The South Downs National Park Authority is the planning authority for the town, and the historic core around The Square, Sheep Street, The Spain and College Street is a conservation area. Before you change windows on a listed building, in the conservation area or in a flat, check with the South Downs National Park Authority. Flats have no householder permitted development rights, so replacement windows can need permission and freeholder consent. Our replacement windows planning guide sets out the common questions to ask.
What Petersfield’s houses are like
The centre mixes timber-framed buildings, Georgian brick frontages and Victorian shops. The railway arrived in 1859 and the town spread outwards with Victorian and Edwardian villas and terraces towards the station and the Heath. The twentieth century brought interwar semis, post-war council and private estates to the north and south, and more recent developments on the edges of town. Outlying villages such as Steep and Buriton keep a rural character, with brick, flint and clay-tiled cottages under the Downs.
Period houses near the centre
For Victorian and Edwardian homes, the Reynaers SlimLine 68 is our core aluminium window. It is an outward-opening casement with narrow sightlines, so glass area stays generous in older openings. We also fabricate Cortizo and Alunet aluminium windows. We do not make timber windows; where a timber appearance is wanted, woodgrain-finish UPVC or aluminium is the alternative, subject to what the planning authority accepts.
Estate and family homes
On 1960s to 1990s houses, UPVC windows in the Selecta Advance 70 system are a sensible like-for-like upgrade. A composite front door pairs well with them and needs no repainting.
Opening up to the garden
For rear extensions and garden rooms we fit Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 sliding doors and Smart Visofold or Cortizo bifold doors. We also build conservatories, orangeries, porches and roof lanterns, and supply secondary glazing, garage doors, blinds and shutters.
Comfort on the edge of the Downs
Petersfield sits in a bowl beneath the chalk scarp of the Downs, with the Heath and its pond on the south-east side of town. Homes on the higher ground towards Steep and Froxfield catch more wind, while older town-centre houses often have single glazing or early double glazing that lets heat escape through tired seals. A survey tells you which openings are worth replacing first and whether secondary glazing makes more sense on a protected frontage.
Steep, Sheet, Buriton, Liss and beyond
Our Petersfield visits take in Sheet and Steep to the north, Buriton to the south, Liss along the Rother valley, and Froxfield and Stroud to the west. Sheet, Buriton, Liss and Froxfield Green have conservation areas of their own, and these villages are also inside the national park, so the same advice about checking with the park authority applies. We also have pages on double glazing in Haslemere, Alton and Waterlooville.
Survey, making and fitting from Fifield
We start with a free survey: we measure each opening, ask how you use each room and show frame and colour samples. You then receive a written quote. Aluminium windows start from £400, and our double glazing cost guide explains how the total builds up. Aluminium frames are fabricated in our Fifield workshop with lead times from 10 days. On fitting day our own installers drive down the A3, take out the old frames, fit and seal the new ones and leave the house clean. Each installation carries a 10-year guarantee, and we are a listed Reynaers at Home installer partner with Constructionline Silver.

Frequently asked questions
Who handles planning for windows in Petersfield?
Petersfield lies inside the South Downs National Park, so the South Downs National Park Authority is the planning authority. If your home is listed, in the Petersfield conservation area or a flat, check with the authority before replacing windows. Flats have no householder permitted development rights, so permission and freeholder consent may be needed.
Do you have a local office in Petersfield?
No. Our only workshop and office are at Coningsby Farm in Fifield, near Windsor. Petersfield is roughly 50 miles away by road, usually around an hour and a quarter via the A3. Our surveyor visits your home with samples, and our own fitters travel down for the installation.
What windows suit a Victorian house near Petersfield station?
Slim aluminium casements such as the Reynaers SlimLine 68 suit many Victorian and Edwardian openings because the narrow frames keep the glass area generous. Woodgrain UPVC is a lower-cost alternative. If the house is in the conservation area or listed, check with the South Downs National Park Authority about acceptable styles first.
Can you fit bifold doors on an extension in Petersfield?
Yes. We fit Smart Visofold and Cortizo aluminium bifold doors, and Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 sliding doors if you prefer large sliding panes. We measure the opening at survey and confirm the structure above it is suitable. Whether the extension itself needs permission is a question for the national park authority.
How much does double glazing cost in Petersfield?
Our aluminium windows start from £400 each, but the total depends on sizes, opening styles, colours and glass. We give a fixed written quote after a free survey. Our double glazing cost guide explains the main factors, and the price includes our own team travelling from Fifield to fit.
