Keep the character. Make them work beautifully.
Thoughtful repair, refurbishment and replacement for period homes and listed buildings. From sticking sashes and broken cords to timber repairs and carefully planned replacements, we help keep traditional windows working well.
Listed Building Specialists
Original sash windows can be an important part of a listed building’s character. Before recommending work, we look at the condition of the sashes, frames, glazing, cords and pulleys, and consider which features should be retained.
Where the condition allows, repair and careful refurbishment may preserve more of the original window than replacement. Depending on what we find, the work may include timber repairs, sash cord and pulley work, draught proofing or a considered glazing upgrade.
Work to listed windows can require consent, depending on the building and the proposed changes. The requirements are specific to each property, so check with the relevant planning authority before work begins. We can explain the window work involved and help you understand what to ask.

Start with the window you have.
Every sash window has its own history and condition. A window that sticks may need adjustment or cord repairs; another may need draught proofing or local timber repairs. If the original parts are too damaged to keep, replacement may be the better option.
We assess the window before recommending work, explain the available choices and help you decide what suits the property. We work on individual windows and larger projects for homes, property managers and commercial properties.
Inspect the Window
We look at how it moves, the condition of the timber and the parts that support its operation.
Explain the Options
We discuss whether repair, refurbishment, draught proofing or replacement is appropriate.
Plan the Work
You can ask questions and understand the proposed work before deciding how to proceed.
