Sash window repairs
Sash windows with their timeless charm, can succumb to various challenges over time, such as damage and warping from storms or strong winds, and rot. Sash window repairs preserve a home’s character. Replacing the damaged or rotten sash in the existing frame is popular because it’s much less work than installing a whole window frame.
Replacement & Retrofit double glazing
Retrofit double glazing of timber sash windows provides improved insulation and enhanced energy efficiency. Retrofit double-glazing for the whole house adds appeal for resale and helps to meet healthy home standards.

Retrofit double glazing: restoration vs replacement
Retrofitting double glazed timber windows by replacing the whole sash eliminates the problem of joints breaking. When the original sash is modified to take to double glazing the joints are cut away and twice the weight of glass is added. This often leads to joint failure.
