Repairing original windows is often cost-effective rather than full replacements. It allows you to retain the historical features and unique architectural elements of your home.

Specialists dedicated to restoration and double glazing of wooden windows
Common repair issues we resolve
Over time, sash windows can develop a variety of issues, especially in older homes:
Draught-proofing
Older sash windows often let in draughts, leading to heat loss that results in higher energy bills. We install draught seals that are almost invisible and help maintain a more comfortable temperature indoors.
Double glazing
If you are looking to improve the thermal efficiency of your home, we can upgrade your standard glazed sash windows by installing double glazing units, keeping the traditional appearance of your beautiful windows.
Timber repairs
We repair or replace rotten, damaged or decayed sections of timber, ensuring the new wood matches the original material and blends with the existing frame.
Mechanism restoration
Sash cords, pulleys, and counterweights can wear out or break over time, leading windows to stick or become difficult to open and close. We restore or replace the damaged sash cords, service or replace the pulleys and adjust or replace the weights within the window frame to ensure smooth and balanced operation.
Rebalancing and realignment
We check and adjust the balance and alignment of the window sashes, ensuring they sit correctly and move effortlessly within the frame.
Window sill replacement
Damaged sills can lead to further issues with your windows, including water ingress. We replace decayed or cracked window sills to protect the integrity of the window.
Replacement of the sash window
In some cases, repair may not be enough, and a replacement of the whole window is required. We replicate the original box sash windows keeping the original design and using the same materials to ensure consistency with the rest of the property.
Glazing repairs
Broken or cracked glass panes can affect both the appearance and safety of your windows. We offer glazing repair services to restore the glass while keeping the original appearance.
