Restore Instead of Replace
Many homeowners assume ageing sash windows need replacing. In reality, most original timber sash windows can be restored successfully at a fraction of the cost of new installations.
Restoration retains the original timber, which is often of a much higher quality than many modern alternatives. Properly restored sash windows can continue performing reliably for many decades while preserving the historic character of your property.
Restoration also reduces waste, making it a more sustainable choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Common Problems We Repair
Over time, timber sash windows naturally develop issues due to weather exposure and everyday use.
We regularly repair:
- Windows that are difficult to open or close.
- Broken or snapped sash cords.
- Rotting timber.
- Loose glazing.

Our draught proofing systems help to:
- Reduce heat loss.
