Windows, Doors, Conservatories and Glass in Weybridge

Fitting windows, doors and conservatories across Weybridge, Oatlands, St George’s Hill and Brooklands since 1972.

Installed by our own FENSA registered team, not subcontractors. Showroom in Guildford, around 12 miles away.

Sheerwater Glass started in Sheerwater, and Woking has been our home borough ever since. Fifty years on we are still fitting windows, doors, conservatories and cut glass across GU21, GU22, GU24 and KT14, and still repairing work other companies fitted.

Weybridge is four towns in one. A late Victorian and Edwardian core around Monument Green. A Georgian influenced village at Oatlands, most of it finished by 1859. A gated private estate at St George’s Hill with one acre minimum plots and Arts and Crafts origins. And a great many flats, which is the part of Weybridge nobody writes about.

We fit across all of it, and we repair work other companies fitted as readily as we fit our own.

Weybridge's housing, and what it means for your windows

Weybridge has a reputation for mansions, and the mansions are real. But the census tells a more interesting story: across Weybridge North and Weybridge South, flats make up roughly a third and over two fifths of homes respectively, against a South East average of under 23 per cent. St George’s Hill is the exception, not the rule.

The town grew in phases, each of which left a distinct kind of housing behind, and each of which needs a different answer.

Part of the Weybridge What is typically there What usually suits it
Monument Green, Monument Hill, the High Street, Portmore Park The Victorian and Edwardian core. Most of the houses around Monument Green were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the west side of the High Street was developed when the Portmore Park estate was broken up in the 1880s. This is the conservation area heart of the town Timber and timber alternative flush casements, vertical sliding sash, and secondary glazing where the originals are staying. Heritage colours and traditional ironmongery
Oatlands Village and Oatlands Park Built out from the 1828 to 1846 break up of the Oatlands estate, with most of the village completed by 1859. The architecture is predominantly of classical, Georgian inspiration: eighteenth and nineteenth century terraces, and grander detached Georgian houses on the approach to Monument Hill Timber sash and flush casement in heritage shades. Georgian bar detailing where the frontage calls for it. Do not put a standard uPVC casement on an Oatlands terrace
St George’s Hill A private gated estate developed by W. G. Tarrant from 1911, with covenants fixing a one acre minimum plot. Over 450 properties, many of the earliest in the Arts and Crafts style, alongside substantial modern replacements. Gated, with controlled access and ANPR Bespoke work, effectively. Timber, timber alternative and premium aluminium. Access has to be arranged in advance. Assume estate level design controls on external alterations and check before designing anything
Weybridge North and South, the twentieth century estates The part of Weybridge that gets overlooked. The first council housing was built between 1923 and 1927, 160 houses on the Old Palace Gardens estate, and over a thousand more went up across Weybridge and Walton after the war. Flats are heavily represented Slimline uPVC casements, which give you more glass and a better U value in the same aperture. Composite front doors. Replacement sealed units in the blocks, where the frames are sound
Brooklands, Templemere, Hamm Court, Weybridge Heath The modern and commercial edge. Brooklands is a conservation area on the site of the world’s first purpose built banked racing circuit, later a Vickers and BAC aircraft works, now Mercedes-Benz World, Brooklands Museum and the Sony and Procter and Gamble campuses. Templemere is a separately designated conservation area Aluminium for the contemporary stock, bifolding and sliding patio doors, roof lanterns on flat roof extensions. Check the conservation designation before altering anything at Templemere

Do I need permission to replace windows in a Weybridge?

Usually not. Replacing windows in a house is normally permitted development, and that still applies inside a conservation area. It changes if your house is listed, or if Elmbridge Borough Council has made an Article 4 direction covering your street, which withdraws permitted development rights. Flats and maisonettes are treated differently to houses, and on a leasehold flat you will normally need written consent from the freeholder or managing agent as well.

St George’s Hill is different again. It is a private estate with covenants dating back to its development in 1911, and any external alteration is worth checking against those before it is designed, not after.

Conservation areas in and around Weybridge

Elmbridge Borough Council designates conservation areas at Weybridge (Town Centre and Monument Green), Templemere, Brooklands and the Wey Navigation, along with Hersham Village, Whiteley Village, Walton, Cobham, Esher, Claygate and others across the borough.

  • Secondary glazing, which sits behind the original window and changes nothing about how the house looks from the street
  • Timber and timber alternative flush casements, which sit flush in the frame the way pre war windows did
  • Vertical sliding sash windows in timber, timber alternative or uPVC
  • Mock sash, where the look matters more than the mechanism and the budget is tighter
  • Heritage colour ranges and traditional ironmongery
  • Recent installations in Weybridge

    Why Weybridge homeowners choose Sheerwater Glass

    • Fifty years across this part of Surrey. We started in 1972 in Sheerwater and have been fitting in Weybridge, Oatlands and Byfleet ever since.
    • Our own installers do the work. FENSA registered, City and Guilds and GQA qualified, employed by us. Nobody is subcontracted, so the person who surveys your house works for the same company as the person who fits it.
    • We work on both ends of the market. A replacement sealed unit in a Weybridge flat and a full timber alternative replacement on Monument Green are both normal jobs for us.
    • We will fix what someone else fitted. Misted units, dropped doors, failed hinges and locks. You do not need to have bought from us.
    • The guarantee is insurance backed. 10 years on frames, glass and workmanship, underwritten by QA National Warranty, so your cover survives even if we are not here to honour it.

    How long does an installation in Weybridge take?

    Around 8 to 10 weeks from order to fitting, and 1 to 2 days on site for most jobs. Here is the whole sequence.

    Stage How long
    Enquiry to home visit As little as 2 working days
    Home visit to quotation 2 working days, up to 5 for specialist items
    Order to technical survey Up to 10 working days
    Order to installation Generally 8 to 10 weeks
    Time on site Typically 1 to 2 days for a full house
    Do you need to move out? No. You stay in the house throughout

    You get a fitting date when you order, not a window of weeks. If a delivery slips, we call you before you have to call us.

    Why quotes are valid for 14 days

    Glass manufacturing is heavily energy dependent, so our costs move with energy prices. Rather than pad every quotation against a rise that may not happen, we quote the real number on the day. If it lapses, come back whenever you are ready and we will requote free of charge.

    Weybridge: your questions answered

    Do you cover my part of Weybridge?

    Yes. Weybridge town centre, Monument Green, Oatlands Village and Park, St George’s Hill, Brooklands, Portmore Park, Hamm Court, Templemere and Weybridge Heath. That is KT13. We also cover Walton on Thames, Hersham, Byfleet, West Byfleet, Addlestone and New Haw.

    Where is your nearest showroom to Weybridge?

    Unit B5, Moorfield Point, 41 Slyfield Industrial Estate, Guildford, GU1 1RU. Around 12 miles, roughly half an hour by the A245 through Byfleet and Woking, or round on the A3. If that is further than you want to drive, we measure and quote at home and can bring samples with us.

    Do you work on St George's Hill?

    Yes. Access to the estate is gated and controlled, so visits are arranged in advance rather than turning up. The estate has had covenants since W. G. Tarrant developed it in 1911, including a one acre minimum plot size, and we would recommend checking what those allow before any external alteration is designed. We will help you establish that.

    Do I need planning permission to replace my windows in Weybridge?

    Usually not. Replacing windows in a house is normally permitted development, including inside a conservation area. It changes if your house is listed, or if Woking Borough Council has made an Article 4 direction covering your street, which withdraws permitted development rights. Flats and maisonettes are treated differently to houses. We check this during the survey.

    Can you match the windows on a Victorian house near Monument Green?

    Yes. Most of the houses around Monument Green date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the area is a designated conservation area. For that stock we normally fit timber or timber alternative flush casements, vertical sliding sash, or secondary glazing where the original windows are staying. Heritage colour ranges and traditional ironmongery are available across the range.

    Do you work on flats in Weybridge?

    Yes, and more often than people expect. Flats make up a large share of the homes in Weybridge North and South, well above the South East average. We fit and repair in them regularly. For a leasehold flat you will normally need freeholder or managing agent consent first, and in some blocks the windows are the freeholder’s responsibility rather than yours. We will tell you which applies at the survey.

    Can you repair windows and doors another company fitted?

    Yes. Misted or blown sealed units, dropped or sticking doors, failed hinges, handles and locks, broken glass, VELUX faults and traditional putty glazing. You do not need to have bought the original installation from us.

    Can I buy just one piece of glass?

    Yes. We cut glass to order: replacement sealed units, mirrors, splashbacks, shelves, table tops, shower screens, greenhouse glass and safety glass. Bring your measurements to the glass and repairs surgery in Guildford, or send them through the cut glass quote form.

    Will I get a FENSA certificate?

    Yes, automatically, on every installation that qualifies. You will need it when you sell the house.

    How long have you been working in Weybridge?

    Since 1972. Our phone number still carries the 01932 Weybridge dialling code.
