Our Sash Window Repair and Restoration Services in Kent
We carry out a range of sash window services across Kent, depending on the age, condition and requirements of each property.
Sash Window Repairs
Our repair work is suitable for windows that are sticking, rattling, draughty, difficult to open or showing signs of timber decay. We can repair damaged sections, improve operation and help restore the window to smooth working order.
Sash Window Restoration
Restoration is often suitable for older windows that need more detailed work while retaining their original period features. This may include timber repairs, draught proofing, glazing improvements, sill work and careful renovation of the existing structure.
Sash Window Renovation
Our renovation services are designed to improve the appearance, condition and performance of existing windows. We can work on the timber, fittings, glazing and movement of the window to help bring it back to a better standard.
Draught Proofing
Draught proofing can help reduce draughts, rattles and heat loss while keeping the original sash windows in place. This can be included as part of wider repair or renovation work.
Double Glazed Sash Windows
Where suitable, we offer double glazed timber sashes that improve performance while retaining the traditional appearance of the window. This can be a good option if you want the benefits of modern glazing without losing period character.
Cords, Pulleys and Weights
If your windows no longer open smoothly, will not stay open or feel poorly balanced, the cords, pulleys or weights may need attention. These repairs can be carried out as part of restoring the window to proper working order.

Detailed Sash Window Repair and Replacement Work

Timber Repairs and Moulding Replication
We can manufacture and replicate existing moulding details from our specialist joinery workshop, using specialist moulding techniques to create a matching profile for your existing sash windows.
