We recently had all of our sash windows double glazed by Sash Window Experts and are very pleased with the whole process. Mark and his team were fantastic from start to finish. They were always on time, polite and incredibly considerate of being in our house. They did a fantastic job of replacing the old Victorian sashes with new double glazed units and we can't recommend them highly enough.

These guys fully deserve their 5 star status, the work that they do is exceptional. Having bought a new period property with windows that were in need of attention we contacted several companies, and chose Sash Window Experts on the basis of Mark’s original survey and quote. Mark showed his love for repair and restoration during the initial visit, and came up with options and solutions to look at windows and doors in our house. Work started on time, and was completed to a very high standard. Given the size of our project we had a variety of people on site at different times, all of whom were a pleasure to have around, and who have that same love for their craft that Mark has. A special shout out to John, who worked with us on a number of things, and always came up with a great solution. We’d highly recommend Sash Window Experts.

Mark, Lisa and their team - Steve, Matt, Ollie and Pete repaired 9 badly decayed sash windows on our Victorian house in a conservation area. The work was finished to high quality, beautifully done and beautifully painted. The team was careful and considerate throughout. They kept to time and came in slightly under the quote value, accounting for elements of the original frames that they were able to repair rather than replace. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for work in a heritage setting.

I cannot praise this company enough. Mark and the entire team, who renovated all the rotten, old and drafty sash windows in our small flat, have been amazing. Gary, Steve and Ollie were, without exception, professional, courteous, great craftsmen and clean and tidy. The quality of the windows, both from the workshop and on site renovations is excellent and the style exactly as the old windows once were. Communication was also easy. I can highly recommend this company. Thanks to all the team.

This is the second time we have used Sash Window Experts, and we went back to them for hardwood double-glazing of our second bay window because we were so pleased with how professionally they worked previously, and the excellent results. They were prompt and attentive as ever - real experts in their field. We're delighted with the standard of their work, and would highly recommend them. The windows look great. Update: We have now (May 2024) used Sash Window Experts for the third time for hardwood double-glazed sash windows for our kitchen and second bedroom, to complete window renovation in our flat. They're as professional as ever, prompt and efficient, clean up well after themselves and the work was completed to a high standard in two days, as they said. We continue to recommend sash Window Experts.

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.

Should You Repair, Restore or Replace Your Sash Windows?

Every property is different, so the right option depends on the condition of your windows and what you would like to achieve. During your free site survey, we assess the condition of the timber, cords, glazing, sills and mechanisms before recommending the most suitable repair, restoration or replacement work.

Option May be suitable if
Repair
  • the window is mostly sound but has isolated damage
  • the sash cords, catches or sliding mechanism need attention
  • the window is draughty, rattling or difficult to open
  • small areas of timber need repair
Restoration
  • the sash windows are original but tired or difficult to use
  • there is timber decay, paint build-up or poor movement
  • you want to retain the original period features
  • draught proofing or glazing improvements are needed as part of wider renovation work
  • the window needs careful work rather than a simple repair
Replacement
  • sections of the sash are beyond practical repair
  • new timber sashes are needed to match the original design
  • restoration alone would not leave the window in reliable working condition

Common Sash Window Problems We Can Help With in Kent

We can help with common sash window issues caused by age, wear, draughts or timber damage, including:

  • rotten or decayed timber
  • damaged or worn window sills
  • broken sash cords
  • draughty windows
  • rattling sashes
  • windows that stick or will not open smoothly
  • damaged glass
  • poor insulation
  • tired paintwork or ageing timber sections
  • windows that need careful restoration rather than full replacement

These problems can often be addressed through careful repair, restoration or renovation, depending on the condition of the window.

Detailed Sash Window Repair and Replacement Work

Whether your sash windows are old, damaged or seem beyond economical repair, our team uses specialist sash window renovation methods to restore and improve traditional windows wherever possible.

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. Our craftsmen are able to carry out precise replacement work, including carefully piecing in new sections of timber where the wood has cracked, chipped or decayed.

Sill Repair and Replacement

Sill decay is a common issue with older timber windows. Where required, we can remove damaged timber and replace affected sections so the window is returned to a stronger, more reliable condition.

Glass and Glazing Options

For damaged glass, we offer a range of glass replacement options, including clear float, laminated, sealed and obscure glass, depending on the requirements of the window and property.

Catches, Finishes and Security

We can add centre catches and provide a range of colours and finishes to suit your preferences. Where relevant, we also consider the security requirements of the property as part of the repair or replacement work.

Every sash window project starts with a proper assessment. We look at the condition of the timber, cords, glazing, sills and mechanisms before recommending the most appropriate repair, restoration or replacement work. Here’s what to expect from first contact through to completion.
