FAQs:
Can you also repair spring balances?
Yes, we can repair or replace spring balances.
Will you need to remove secondary glazing to replace the sash cord?
In most cases, yes. To access the sash cords and pulleys, we may need to temporarily remove secondary glazing, but we always ensure it is reinstalled properly after the repair.
What is a common cause of a sash cord failing?
A common cause of sash cord failure is wear and tear over time. Sash cords are typically made from materials like cotton, nylon, or jute, which can fray, weaken, or snap after years of repeated use. Exposure to moisture, changes in temperature, and the general aging of the material can also contribute to the deterioration of the cord. Poor maintenance or excessive strain from heavy window sashes can accelerate this process, leading to failure.
How much does it cost to replace window sash cords?
If you require same-day service, the cost will be £450 + VAT. However, if the sash cord is replaced as part of a larger job, the cost can be as low as £50.
