A railway town with Edwardian roots
Gerrards Cross was little more than heathland and a crossroads on the A40 until the railway arrived in 1906. The population jumped from 552 in 1901 to 1,612 a decade later, as estates of large detached houses were laid out for commuters on the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills. Building continued through the interwar years and the 1950s, and the town now has more than 8,000 residents.
That history gives a distinctive housing stock: Edwardian villas with pebbledash, clay tile and red brick around the common and the Latchmoor estate, interwar family houses, and post-war homes and newer replacement houses on large plots. Each calls for a different window.
Window styles that suit the town
- Flush casement and cottage windows reproduce the grouped casements and small-paned upper lights common on Edwardian houses.
- Sash windows: where a house was built with vertical sliders, our uPVC sash windows keep the look while improving draught-proofing.
- Bay windows: canted and curved bays, including corner bays, are made to measure on our bay windows page.
- Tilt and turn: tilt and turn windows suit flats and modern houses, giving secure ventilation and easy cleaning from inside.
- Casement and shaped windows: a standard casement suits post-war homes, and arched or raked frames fill gables and stair windows.
Noise from the M40, A40 and Chiltern line
The M40 runs along the southern edge of the town, the A40 crosses its centre and the Chiltern Main Line runs through a deep cutting. For bedrooms facing any of them, sound-reducing windows with acoustic laminated glass make a real difference. Triple glazing may suit some openings, so ask us to confirm it for your frame sizes, and secondary glazing is useful where original frames on a locally listed house need to stay.
Energy, glass and security
The Selecta Advance 70 profile forms the basis of all our uPVC double glazed windows. We confirm U-values and energy ratings once the glass is chosen, and you can learn how the label works on our window energy ratings page. Glass options include low-emissivity, toughened, laminated and decorative obscure units. For window security, ask us to confirm the hardware and security rating we propose for ground-floor and accessible windows.
Colour choices
Pebbledash and painted render often look best with white or cream, while red-brick houses can carry a woodgrain or a darker grey. Black frames are a striking option on a modern rebuild. Our window colours page shows the range; ask us to confirm which foils are offered on Selecta Advance 70. We do not make timber windows or doors, so woodgrain foil gives the timber appearance.
Front doors, back doors and garden doors
Many owners choose composite doors for the main entrance, and we have front door styles that suit both Edwardian porches and modern frontages. uPVC back doors and stable doors work well for utility rooms and kitchens. French doors open a sitting room to the terrace, and patio doors give a wider view of the garden. Ask about door security and smart locks too. For large rear openings, we are a listed Reynaers at Home partner and fit Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 aluminium sliding doors.
Conservation areas: check with Buckinghamshire Council
Buckinghamshire Council has two conservation areas in the town: Gerrards Cross Common, designated in 1987, and Gerrards Cross Centenary, designated in 2009, which takes in streets of the Latchmoor estate. Many houses in the Centenary area are also recorded as local buildings of note. If you live in either area, or in a listed building or flat, check with Buckinghamshire Council before changing your windows. Our guide to replacement window planning rules explains more.
Repair, replacement and prices
A failed sealed unit or broken hinge can often be dealt with by window repair, saving the frame. When frames are tired throughout, a full replacement brings the whole house up to date. Our double glazing cost guide explains the factors behind a quote, and the main uPVC windows and doors page sets out the full range.

Frequently asked questions
Can I replace windows in the Gerrards Cross Centenary Conservation Area?
Often yes, but the design needs more care. The council may expect new windows on visible elevations to keep the pattern, proportions and glazing bars of the originals, and locally listed houses get extra attention. Check with Buckinghamshire Council before ordering. We can prepare drawings showing the frame, bars and colour to support any discussion or application.
Will uPVC look right on an Edwardian house?
It can, if the details are right. Flush casements, slim glazing bars, cottage-style upper lights and a suitable colour make a big difference to how uPVC sits on a period frontage. On the most sensitive elevations, we may recommend a different approach and will tell you honestly at survey which option suits the house best.
Do acoustic windows help near the M40?
Yes. Acoustic glass uses laminated panes of different thickness to cut more traffic noise than a standard sealed unit. It is most effective when the frame is properly sealed into the opening. Bedrooms on the southern side of the town, nearest the motorway, are where we most often recommend it. We can also discuss secondary glazing.
How far are you from Gerrards Cross?
Our workshop is at Coningsby Farm in Fifield, near Windsor, about 9 miles from Gerrards Cross as the crow flies. The drive usually takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. That makes surveys, installation and any later visits straightforward. Our office is open weekdays from 8am to 6pm and on Saturday mornings.
Do you supply composite front doors as well?
Yes. Composite doors are one of our most requested products for the main entrance, offering a solid, timber-look finish with low maintenance. We also fit uPVC back and stable doors, French doors and patio doors, plus aluminium sliders for larger openings. Ask about smart locks and door security when we survey.
