REFURBISHMENT & RESTORATION
Sash Window Restoration & Refurbishment
Sash windows are at the heart of many heritage and period homes, adding timeless character and historic charm. Over the years, however, these original timber windows can suffer from issues such as draughts, rot, and worn mechanisms. Rather than replacing them with modern alternatives, sash window restoration and refurbishment preserves the craftsmanship, history, and value of your home. For listed buildings and conservation properties in particular, maintaining original sash windows is not only important for authenticity, but often essential to meet heritage regulations.
Our skilled team brings over a decade of experience in heritage joinery and traditional window repair, ensuring each sash window is restored with precision and care. This is highly specialised work that requires a deep understanding of period construction methods, traditional materials, and sympathetic repair techniques. From careful timber splicing to restoring smooth sliding mechanisms, every detail is handled to the highest standard. By choosing restoration over replacement, you retain the historic integrity of your home while enjoying improved efficiency, longevity, and unmatched craftsmanship.
DRAUGHT PROOFING & NOISE REDUCTION
Draught Proofing Sash Windows
Draught proofing is one of the most effective ways to improve the comfort and efficiency of your heritage home without compromising its original charm. Over time, sash windows can allow cold air and noise to seep in, leading to higher energy bills and reduced comfort. Our discreet draught proofing system seals gaps around the sashes, keeping the warmth inside, cutting down on unwanted noise, and helping your property run more efficiently. Best of all, this work is fully sympathetic to traditional design and is approved for use in listed buildings and conservation areas, ensuring compliance with heritage regulations.
In addition to improved insulation, our draught proofing service ensures your sash windows are restored to full working order. We carefully overhaul and balance the sashes so they slide smoothly and operate exactly as they were intended. The result is a window that not only looks authentic but also performs to modern standards of comfort. With expert craftsmanship and a heritage-approved system, you can enjoy a warmer, quieter home while protecting the historic character of your property.
SASH WINDOW REPLACEMENT
Replica Timber Sash Window Replacements
When original sash windows are beyond repair, we offer beautifully crafted replica timber sash replacements that preserve the character of your home while adding modern performance. New sash windows can often be installed into the existing sash boxes, meaning far less disruption and damage to the surrounding structure. Every replacement is carefully matched to the original profiles and detailing, ensuring your property retains its historic authenticity while benefiting from the durability of new joinery.
We provide a range of glazing options to suit both heritage requirements and modern living, from ultra-efficient vacuum glazing to discreet slimline double-glazed units that blend seamlessly with traditional frames. All new sash windows are manufactured in Accoya timber — a highly stable, durable, and sustainable wood ideal for long-lasting joinery. Finished with a factory-applied spray coating, your new windows arrive with a flawless, even finish that ensures both beauty and protection. With precision craftsmanship and attention to detail, we create sash window replacements that are virtually indistinguishable from the originals while offering comfort, efficiency, and longevity.
SILL REPLACEMENTS
Sash Window Sill Replacement
Over time, window sills are particularly vulnerable to water damage and rot. Left untreated, a rotten sill not only looks unsightly but can also lead to far more serious issues, such as damage to the frame, masonry, and even the interior of your property. Sash window sill replacement is a vital part of maintaining the structure and longevity of your heritage home, preventing further deterioration while restoring the window’s original appearance.
We offer high-quality replacement sills crafted from hardwood Sapele timber, renowned for its strength and durability, or Accoya timber, an exceptionally stable and sustainable choice ideal for long-lasting joinery. Each sill is fitted using traditional methods, installed the same way they were hundreds of years ago to ensure authenticity and performance. By combining heritage techniques with superior materials, we deliver sills that not only match the character of your existing windows but also provide lasting protection and peace of mind.
Resin repairs
Resin Repairs for Timber Sash Windows
Resin repairs are a highly effective and durable solution for restoring damaged or rotten sections of sash windows without the need for full replacement. We use an extremely high-quality resin system designed specifically for heritage joinery, ensuring a repair that is both long-lasting and sympathetic to the original timber. Before applying any resin, all decayed wood is carefully removed back to sound, solid timber, creating a strong foundation for the repair.
The benefits of resin repairs are clear — they are cost-effective, long-lasting, and virtually invisible once completed. Each repair is fully painted and finished, blending seamlessly with the surrounding timber so that you would never know resin has been used. The result is a smooth, flawless surface that looks and performs just like solid wood, while extending the life of your original sash windows and preserving the character of your home.
