Sash Window Restoration
Traditional box sash windows are remarkable pieces of engineering. When functioning correctly, they provide excellent ventilation, ease of cleaning, and period authenticity.
Our restoration process involves complete dismantling, assessment of all components, replacement of worn cords and pulleys, rebalancing of counterweights, repair of damaged timber, and installation of discreet draught-proofing systems.
We preserve original glass wherever possible and ensure smooth operation for decades to come.
From £487.50 per window Request This ServicePeriod Glass Repair
Original Victorian glass has unique characteristics. Crown glass shows distinctive circular patterns, whilst cylinder glass possesses subtle distortions and imperfections that modern float glass cannot replicate.
We source period-appropriate glass for repairs and can commission specialist manufacturers for exact matches when required.
Cracked panes are carefully removed, repaired where viable, or replaced with sympathetic alternatives that maintain the window's historical character.

Timber Frame Repair
Rot and decay are common in period windows, particularly at cill level where water penetration occurs. Complete replacement is rarely necessary.
We employ traditional carpentry techniques including scarfing, piecing-in, and consolidation using two-part epoxy resins. These methods preserve as much original fabric as possible whilst ensuring structural integrity.
All repairs use timber species matched to the original, treated appropriately for longevity.

Modern plastic paints trap moisture within timber, accelerating decay. Period windows require breathable finishes that allow the wood to function naturally.
We can analyse existing paint layers to determine original colours, then apply historically appropriate finishes using linseed oil-based paints or traditional limewash systems.
Our preparation process respects the substrate whilst ensuring proper adhesion and longevity of the new finish.

Draught-Proofing Systems
Well-maintained sash windows can achieve thermal performance comparable to modern installations when properly draught-proofed.
We install brush seals and compression systems at meeting rails, staff beads, and parting beads. These modifications are invisible when the window is closed and do not compromise operation or aesthetics.
Combined with appropriate glazing upgrades, draught-proofing significantly reduces heat loss and improves comfort.
