Our goal is always to save original windows whenever practical.
Common Sash Window Problems We Repair
Over time, timber sash windows naturally suffer from wear, weather exposure and general ageing. We regularly restore windows affected by:
- Rotten timber
- Broken sash cords
- Sticking windows
- Loose joints
- Cracked putty
- Water damage
- Draughts
- Rattling frames
- Broken locks
- Worn pulleys
- Damaged glazing bars
- Flaking paint
- Distorted frames
- Failed previous repairs
No matter the condition of your windows, we can assess the damage and recommend the most appropriate restoration solution.
Draught Proofing for Greater Comfort
Traditional sash windows often allow unwanted cold air into the home due to gaps created through years of movement and wear.
Our professional draught proofing system helps to:
- Reduce heat loss
- Improve energy efficiency
- Lower heating costs
- Prevent rattling
- Reduce dust ingress
- Improve comfort throughout the year
- Maintain smooth window operation
Unlike temporary DIY solutions, our discreet draught proofing system is installed during the restoration process and preserves the appearance of your original windows.
Timber Repairs That Last
Timber decay is one of the most common issues affecting older sash windows. Rather than replacing complete frames, we carefully remove damaged sections and splice in new hardwood or softwood timber where required.
This approach:
- Preserves original joinery
- Strengthens the window
- Prevents further decay
- Extends the life of the frame
- Reduces restoration costs
All repairs are completed using high-quality materials designed for long-term durability.
Sash Cord Replacement and Window Balancing
Broken sash cords are a frequent cause of windows becoming stuck or difficult to operate.
We replace worn or snapped sash cords with premium-quality replacements while inspecting and servicing the pulley system and counterweights.
Once complete, your windows will:
- Open effortlessly
- Close securely
- Stay balanced
- Operate smoothly
- Reduce unnecessary strain on the frame
Correct balancing also helps prevent future wear.
Restoration for Period Properties
Kingston-Upon-Thames is home to a wide variety of beautiful period architecture, including Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties with original timber sash windows.
We understand the importance of preserving historic features while improving functionality. Our restoration techniques are sympathetic to the age and style of your property, helping maintain its architectural character.
Where appropriate, we can also carry out repairs that comply with conservation area requirements.
Improve Energy Efficiency Without Replacing Your Windows
Older sash windows are often blamed for poor insulation, but careful restoration can significantly improve thermal performance.
By repairing gaps, replacing worn components, improving seals and carrying out professional draught proofing, we help homeowners enjoy warmer homes without sacrificing traditional appearance.
This provides a practical balance between heritage preservation and modern comfort.
