Windows & Doors in Harrow

Harrow is the principal town of the London Borough of Harrow, about 9.5 miles north-west of Charing Cross, and its HA1, HA2 and HA3 postcodes cover the town centre, Harrow on the Hill, South Harrow, West Harrow, Wealdstone and Harrow Weald. The original settlement sits on Harrow Hill, where St Mary's Church and Harrow School, founded in 1572, look out over the suburbs below. The Metropolitan Railway reached Harrow in 1880 and set off a building boom, and by the 1950s Harrow was being called the capital of Metro-land as new estates spread along the line. Harrow-on-the-Hill station has Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways services, and Harrow & Wealdstone, the busiest station in the borough, has the Bakerloo line, London Overground, London Northwestern Railway and Southern. Pinner, which has its own page, is in the same borough. Vitrum Solutions quotes across Harrow from our showroom in Ickenham and our workshop in Uxbridge, and every installation is FENSA registered with a 10-year CPA insurance-backed guarantee, with free, no-obligation quotations.

Property Types in Harrow

Almost two-thirds of the homes in the Borough of Harrow date from the inter-war period, so the typical Harrow house is a 1930s semi-detached or detached home with bay windows to the front. Closer to the town centre there are older terraces and villas from the building boom that followed the railway, and Wealdstone grew up around its industry, with past employers including Kodak and Winsor & Newton. Post-war infill and newer apartments around the town centre and the stations complete the mix.

Popular Installations in Harrow

Most Harrow projects are full-house Rehau TOTAL70 casement replacements on inter-war semis, often with the bay windows rebuilt to the original pattern and a Palladio composite front door, plus Cortizo or Schuco bifold and sliding doors on rear extensions. For the older terraces and villas, Victorian Sliders ECOSlide sliding sash and Rehau Rio flush casement keep the period look. The Harrow on the Hill Village Conservation Area, with its Georgian buildings, needs particular care, and we check the London Borough of Harrow's guidance before quoting there. Cortizo, Schuco and Rehau units are fabricated at our Uxbridge workshop.
