Two towns in one
Amersham has two distinct halves. The Old Town sits on the floor of the Misbourne valley, around the medieval St Mary’s church, coaching inns and old pubs, and its historic core is a conservation area. Amersham-on-the-Hill grew in the early twentieth century around the Metropolitan Railway station, which opened in 1892, and it is the Metro-land suburb John Betjeman filmed. That gives a mix of older listed buildings, Edwardian and interwar semis and detached houses, later infill and flats.
If your home is in the Old Town conservation area, in Chesham Bois, or is listed, check with Buckinghamshire Council before replacing front windows, and ask whether an Article 4 direction applies. Our planning permission for replacement windows page covers what generally needs consent. For aluminium and other glazing in the town, see our double glazing in Amersham page.
Window styles for Amersham houses
- Casement windows suit interwar and post-war homes on the Hill. A flush casement gives a cleaner, more traditional line.
- Sash windows suit Edwardian houses and older properties. See uPVC sash windows, and ask us to confirm which Selecta sash designs suit your openings.
- Tilt and turn windows work well in flats and loft rooms; see tilt and turn windows.
- Bay windows are a feature of many Metro-land semis. Our bay windows page explains how we survey and support them.
- Cottage windows with glazing bars and shaped windows, such as arched or gable frames, are made to measure.
Energy-efficient windows for hillside homes
Homes on the plateau and the valley sides catch the wind, and older single-glazed or early double glazed windows lose a lot of heat. Our energy-rated windows page explains window energy ratings and U-values; ask us to confirm the rating for the Selecta design you choose. Triple glazing is an option for exposed elevations, and secondary glazing suits listed buildings in the Old Town where the original windows must be kept.
Homes near busy roads or the railway can benefit from acoustic glass, which our sound-reducing windows page covers. You can also choose toughened glass for safety, patterned obscure glass for privacy, or coatings that limit solar gain.
Modernist and Metro-land details
Amersham has an unusual piece of architectural history in High and Over, the Grade II-listed modernist house completed in 1931. Some interwar homes were built with slim metal windows, and owners of such houses sometimes want replacements that keep that crisp line. Slim glazing bars in dark grey or black can echo the look, and we will talk through what the Selecta profile can achieve before you decide.
On the Hill, many semis share a matching design with their neighbours, so keeping the same pane layout helps a pair of houses look consistent.
Window security
We fit multi-point locks and key-locking handles, and we will confirm PAS 24 test status for your chosen windows and doors before you order.
Window colours
White is still popular on the Hill, but grey and black frames suit modern refurbishments, and woodgrain foils give period homes a timber look with little maintenance. Our range has no timber windows. Browse our window colours, and ask us to confirm the current Selecta range.
uPVC and composite doors
Our front doors come in uPVC or as composite doors, with multi-point locks and a wide choice of colours, glass and furniture, and smart lock options after a compatibility check. For back doors, uPVC doors are practical and secure, and stable doors suit kitchens and cottages. French doors open onto a patio, while wider patio doors come in uPVC or as Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 aluminium sliders; we are a listed Reynaers at Home partner.
Repairs and replacements
Misted units, faulty hinges and worn locks can often be repaired. When frames are beyond repair, we replace them with Selecta Advance 70 windows. Our double glazing cost guide explains the factors behind a quote.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission to replace windows in Amersham Old Town?
Very possibly. The historic core of Amersham is a conservation area with many listed buildings, and an Article 4 direction may apply to some streets. Listed buildings always need listed building consent for new windows. Check with Buckinghamshire Council before ordering, and we will match any approved design.
Which windows suit a Metro-land semi on Amersham-on-the-Hill?
Casement windows, often with a bay at the front, suit most interwar semis. Woodgrain foils or slim glazing bars can recreate the original look, while grey frames give a more modern finish. We survey each bay carefully because the head often carries the weight of the wall above.
Can you fit secondary glazing in a listed Amersham building?
Yes. Secondary glazing fits inside the existing window, so the original frame stays in place and the outside appearance is unchanged. It reduces draughts and noise. Listed building consent may still be needed, so check with Buckinghamshire Council. We will survey the window and suggest the most discreet design.
Are composite doors a good choice for an Amersham home?
Composite doors suit most Amersham homes, from Edwardian houses to modern infill. They combine a solid core with a durable outer skin, come in many colours and styles, and have multi-point locks. We can also discuss smart lock options. For back doors and utility rooms, uPVC doors are another practical choice.
