Hillingdon homes and the right windows
Much of Hillingdon was built in the 1920s and 1930s as the Metropolitan line and Western Avenue opened the area up, so bay-fronted semis and short terraces are everywhere. The old village around St John’s church, Cedars House and the Red Lion has older houses and cottages, and Hillingdon Heath, Colham Green and the roads towards Hayes mix post-war houses with newer flats. Many interwar fronts still have their original leaded lights or stained-glass toplights, which owners often want echoed in the new design rather than lost.
- Interwar semis: a full front bay window replacement plus casement windows, often with cottage-style bars or leaded detail.
- Period cottages and villas: uPVC sash windows or a flush casement to mirror traditional joinery.
- Loft conversions and flats: tilt and turn windows that can be cleaned from inside and double as escape windows.
- Gables, porches and stairwells: shaped windows with arched or angled heads.
Ask us to confirm which sash and tilt and turn designs are available in the Selecta range for your home.
How the frames perform
Selecta Advance 70 is a 70mm uPVC system with a five-chamber profile. Selecta quotes U-values of 1.1 W/m²K with 28mm double glazing and 0.8 W/m²K with 40mm triple glazing. For a draughty 1930s bay, that is a substantial step up in comfort. Window energy ratings depend on the full specification, so ask us to confirm yours; our energy-rated windows page explains the A to G scale.
Traffic noise on the A40
Homes close to the A40 Western Avenue, the A437 or the Uxbridge Road hear constant traffic. Acoustic laminated glass with mixed pane thicknesses is the best upgrade within a standard frame, and our sound-reducing windows page compares the options. Where original windows must be kept, secondary glazing adds insulation and quiet without touching the outside of the house.
Security and glass options
Selecta lists PAS 24 among the security standards for the system; ask us to confirm the rating for your particular windows and doors. We fit multi-point locks and internal glazing beads. Choose toughened glass for low panes and doors, obscure glass for bathrooms and solar-control glass for south-facing rooms.
Choosing a colour
With up to 18 colours, including woodgrain foils and matt finishes, Selecta frames can be matched to almost any street. Anthracite grey and black are favourites on modernised semis, and a woodgrain foil suits older houses where you want a timber look; we do not make timber windows. Ask us to confirm current shades, and see our window colours page.
Doors front and back
Our front doors include uPVC designs and composite doors with a solid core and woodgrain or painted finish, which look right in an interwar porch. At the back we fit uPVC back doors, stable doors, sliding patio doors and French doors. Ask us about door security and smart lock options at survey.
Planning and conservation areas
Hillingdon Village is a conservation area with a cluster of listed buildings, and Cowley Church and Ickenham Village are nearby conservation areas. If your home is in one of these, is listed, or is a flat, check with Hillingdon Council before replacing windows. For an ordinary house elsewhere, similar-looking replacements are usually permitted development. Read our planning permission for replacement windows guide for more.
Repair or replacement
A single misted unit may simply need a new sealed unit, and we will tell you if that is the sensible fix. If frames have rotted, warped or lost their seals throughout, replacement gives better value over time. Our double glazing cost guide explains what drives a quote, from the number and size of openings to the glass and colour you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the bay window on my 1930s Hillingdon semi?
Yes. We survey the bay carefully because many interwar bays have settled, and the new frame often needs to take some structural load. A replacement can keep the original shape and glazing pattern while adding modern thermal performance. If your semi sits in a conservation area, ask Hillingdon Council what is acceptable before you place an order.
Do I need permission for new windows in Hillingdon Village?
Hillingdon Village is a conservation area, so changes to the appearance of the front of a house may be controlled and listed buildings always need consent. Check with Hillingdon Council before ordering. Outside conservation areas, replacement windows on a house that look broadly like the originals are usually permitted development.
Which glass helps with A40 traffic noise?
Acoustic laminated glass is the most effective option, especially when the two panes are different thicknesses, which stops them vibrating at the same frequency. Sealing the frame properly into the opening is just as important. For homes that need to keep their original windows, secondary glazing with a generous air gap is an excellent alternative.
Do you fit composite front doors in Hillingdon?
Yes. A composite door has a solid core and a durable outer skin, giving good insulation and security with a woodgrain or painted look. Many interwar homes in Hillingdon suit a panelled design with decorative glass. We supply the frame and hardware too, and can talk you through smart lock and multi-point locking options.
How quickly can you fit windows in Hillingdon?
Lead times run from 10 days once we have measured and your order is confirmed. Our team comes from Fifield, around 30 minutes away, and a typical semi takes one to two days to complete. We protect floors and furniture, remove old frames, and leave everything tidy at the end of each day.
