Restoration
One of the most popular services we provide, is the draughtproofing and renovation of your original sash and case windows, to bring them up to modern standards of draughtproofing and insulation.
The sashes are removed and the whole window is overhauled. The windows are thoroughly inspected for rot and any rotten timbers are carefully cut out and replaced.
A typical sash window refurbishment will involve
- Replacing any broken glass,
- Replacing any rotten sections,
- Rebalancing and reweighting the windows,
- Restoring the original casement,
- Replacing all the ironmongery,
- Fully draught proofing the sashes.
All draught proofing is discreetly run into the windows and does not alter the appearance of the windows in any way. This service is particularly suited to clients who live in listed buildings, as planning restrictions will mean that upgrading to double glazing is often not an option.
The vast majority of sash and casement windows are repairable, but should your existing sashes be beyond repair, we can manufacture individual sashes to match the original, as well as offering a complete sash window replacement service.
