Are Your Sash Windows Letting in Draughts, Noise or Cold?

Sash windows are a major part of a property’s character, especially in period homes. But when they stop working properly, they can make rooms colder, noisier and harder to live with.

  • Draughts around older sash windows
  • Windows that rattle, stick or no longer slide smoothly
  • Rotten, worn or damaged timber sections
  • Single glazing that makes rooms cold or noisy
  • Condensation, failed glazing or tired-looking glass
  • Concern about losing the original look of the property
  • Uncertainty over repair, restoration, secondary glazing or replacement

We understand. Sash windows need a more considered approach than standard replacement windows. The right solution might be repair, restoration, draught proofing, secondary glazing, double glazed sash windows or a new sash-style installation. We will help you choose the route that improves comfort while respecting the style of your home.

Keep the Character, Improve the Comfort

Good sash window work should not strip away the character of the property. The aim is to make the windows easier to use, warmer, quieter and better finished while keeping the look that suits the building.

Before Sash Window Work

  • Draughty rooms and rattling windows
  • Frames that look tired or damaged
  • Old glazing that does not perform well
  • Windows that are difficult to open and close

After Sash Window Work

  • Sash windows that look cleaner and work better
  • Improved warmth, comfort and noise reduction
  • Original style retained where possible
  • A practical repair, restoration or glazing upgrade
