These guys double glazed our house five years ago including mostly sash windows. Possibly not the cheapest but the quality and the service are first class and their fitters are as efficient and friendly as you are likely to get.. Can't recommend them highly enough. The owner is also an ardent long time Albion fan

Small warning, if it's a flat (in B&H) they will need planning permission from the council .... total rip off of course.
My neighbours had to compromise and agreed on UPVC sash windows ... cost them a fortune

You can get really good UPVC double glazed sash windows now.
Well - when I say you can get them, I mean you can have folk round to give you quotes, then you order them - then hear nothing for a year. So go through the process again with a different company....
Then end up repairing the sash cords and repainting yourself in despair that anyone will actually do the job they said they'd do.

We bought these in our last house and effectively recouped the cost when we sold. They look exactly the same as the originals but actually work. Probably what the Victorians would be buying were they alive today. With energy prices the way they are you eventually get the money back that way anyway.

Are you still renting?
If so I would have thought this job was the responsibility of the property owner.
Repairs/ replacement I mean……..not opening the windows with the heating on
