Ashford’s houses and the frames that suit them
Ashford sat in Middlesex until 1965 and only became part of Spelthorne in 1974, and its streets still read like an outer-London suburb. Much of the housing is detached and semi-detached, put up between the 1880s and about 1960 as the railway station on the Waterloo to Reading line pulled people in. Flats are the other big group, from purpose-built blocks to newer schemes such as the homes going up on the old grammar school site on Church Road.
- Late Victorian and Edwardian villas near the station tend to have tall openings and bays. Slim-sightline aluminium keeps the glass area generous without heavy frames.
- 1930s semis along the roads off Church Road and Fordbridge often had metal casements originally, which makes aluminium casement windows a natural like-for-like choice.
- Post-war and 1950s houses towards Ashford Common usually suit flush casements or tilt and turn windows upstairs for easy cleaning.
Our aluminium window range
Our main window system is Reynaers SlimLine 68. Reynaers quotes guide Uw values of 1.4 W/m²K with double glazing and 1.1 W/m²K with triple glazing, depending on size and layout, and the system carries PAS 24 security accreditation. We also work with Cortizo and Alunet aluminium windows where a different profile or opening style fits the brief better.
For a 1930s house that has lost its original steel windows, our Crittall-style aluminium windows bring back the thin glazing bars and black finish without the cold, rust-prone frames. Inside, Crittall-style screens and internal glazed doors are popular for opening up a kitchen-diner. Frames are powder coated in RAL colours, with anthracite grey and black the most requested, and dual colour lets you match the street outside and the decor within. Our grey and black windows guide shows the options.
Heathrow on the doorstep: glazing for aircraft noise
Heathrow is only around two and a half miles north of the town, and many Ashford households work there. Aircraft noise is the question we hear most from local buyers. SlimLine 68 takes glazing up to 43mm thick, which leaves room for acoustic laminated units and asymmetric panes that cut low-frequency rumble far better than standard double glazing. Our page on sound-reducing windows explains how glass specification affects noise. Triple glazing helps with heat loss, though for noise it is the laminated glass and pane spacing that matter most.
Doors for Ashford gardens
Many of the semis here have long, narrow back gardens. A Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 sliding door gives wide glass panels on a slim interlock, which keeps the view down the garden clear. If you would rather open the whole width in summer, we fit Smart Visofold and Cortizo bifold doors. Aluminium front and back doors complete the set. See the wider aluminium windows and doors range for every style.
Planning in Spelthorne
Like-for-like window replacement on a house is usually permitted development, but flats have no householder permitted development rights, so check with Spelthorne Borough Council and your freeholder before changing frames on an Ashford flat. Spelthorne is also due to become part of the new West Surrey Council from 1 April 2027, so the council you apply to may change. If you want the general rules in one place, read when replacement windows need planning permission.
Living with the reservoirs and the River Ash
Ashford is ringed by water. The Staines Reservoirs lie to the north, Queen Mary Reservoir spreads south towards Littleton, and the River Ash runs past Fordbridge. Open water and the green buffer around it mean exposed elevations catch the wind, so a well-sealed frame makes a real difference to draughts. Aluminium does not swell, warp or rot in damp air, and powder-coated finishes simply need a wipe down a couple of times a year. For homes that face the open reservoir banks, we often suggest triple glazing on the windward side and double glazing elsewhere, which balances warmth against weight and keeps the sightlines slim on every elevation.
Where we fit around Ashford
From Fifield the drive is usually around 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the M25 and the A30. We cover Ashford town centre, Ashford Common, Littleton, Stanwell, Feltham and the edge of Bedfont. Nearby, we also fit aluminium windows in Staines-upon-Thames, Sunbury-on-Thames and Egham. If you are weighing up uPVC, see our double glazing in Ashford page, or browse the Surrey windows and doors hub.

Frequently asked questions
Will aluminium windows cut Heathrow aircraft noise in Ashford?
They can make a clear difference when the glass is chosen for noise. Reynaers SlimLine 68 accepts units up to 43mm thick, so we can specify acoustic laminated glass with unequal pane thicknesses, which tackles the low rumble of departing aircraft. A good seal around the frame matters as much as the glass, so fitting quality counts.
Do I need permission to replace windows in my Ashford flat?
Very likely. Flats do not have householder permitted development rights, so changing the window style, material or colour can need planning permission from Spelthorne Borough Council. Your lease will usually require written consent from the freeholder or managing agent too. Check both before ordering, and we can supply drawings and specifications to support the request.
Are aluminium windows a good fit for a 1930s Ashford semi?
Yes. Many semis built here between the wars had slim metal casements, and aluminium is the closest modern match. Crittall-style frames with glazing bars restore that look, while flush casements suit a cleaner finish. Aluminium also keeps sightlines narrow, so bay windows let in more light than they would with chunkier uPVC frames.
How long does it take to reach Ashford from your workshop?
Ashford is about ten miles from our Fifield workshop as the crow flies, which is typically 25 to 35 minutes by road depending on traffic around the M25 and A30. That keeps surveys easy to arrange, and our fitters can usually arrive early and finish most window installations within normal working hours.
Will Surrey's council changes affect my window plans?
Spelthorne is set to become part of West Surrey Council from 1 April 2027. Applications made before then go to Spelthorne Borough Council. If your project straddles the change, check which authority is handling planning at the time you apply. The rules on replacement windows for houses and flats are not expected to change simply because of the merger.
