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.

Sash Window Repair in Tunbridge Wells

Our Tunbridge Wells team offer a detailed repair service for sash windows that can prolong the life of any type of window or door. Our skilled craftsmen use specialist moulding techniques to piece in new sections of timber, creating a matching profile for your existing sash window.

We also deal with the common issue of sill decay by removing the existing lower box and replacing it with a new hardwood sill, skipping the lengthy process of replacing an entire box frame so that the work is done quickly and efficiently.

Tunbridge Wells has a high concentration of period properties, including many in conservation areas, where original timber sash windows are an important part of the town’s Georgian and Victorian character. Retaining and restoring these windows, rather than replacing them with modern alternatives, helps preserve both the appearance of the property and its value, and keeps homeowners compliant where planning restrictions apply.

Sash Window Renovation

With years of dedication and experience in renovating period properties in Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding towns and villages, we are passionate about minimising the need for modern window replacements wherever possible. Whether your property boasts Georgian, Victorian, or Edwardian sash windows, we can improve worn-out frames and fittings to restore your windows to their former glory.

Our expert team employs meticulous sash window renovation methods, significantly extending the lifespan of your home’s period windows. By combining traditional and contemporary techniques, such as the use of specialist moulding facilities for original designs and installing double-glazed window panes, our craftsmen provide the best of both worlds. The result is professionally renovated and restored sash windows that adhere to modern standards and are perfectly suited for today’s and tomorrow’s homes.

Sash Window Replacement

Occasionally, a sash window reaches a state where repair is no longer feasible. Fortunately, this is a rare occurrence. In such cases, Sash Window Experts can manufacture and reproduce existing moulding details, enabling us to execute an accurate replacement installation for your period window.

As double-glazing technology continually evolves, we install new double-glazed sashes made from durable hard or softwood. These sashes incorporate the Warm Edge Technology found in modern sealed units, while faithfully replicating the original mouldings and horn details of your period sash windows.

Double Glazing for Sash Windows

If you seek to retain your home’s character while enjoying the advantages of modern window installations, we may have the ideal solution for you:

  • Reduced heating bills
  • Enhanced energy efficiency
  • Improved sound insulation
  • Easy maintenance
  • Enhanced home security

Why not let our experienced team restore and upgrade your timber sash windows in Tunbridge Wells with one of the following options:

  • Removing previous uPVC or aluminium replacements
  • Installing a new box frame and double-glazed sash windows with traditional weights and pulleys

Draught Proofing for Sash Windows in Tunbridge Wells

A prevalent issue with older sash windows is their potential lack of snugness, which allows draughts and dust to enter your home. This is one of the main reasons why homeowners may contemplate replacing them with modern alternatives. However, with the assistance of Sash Window Experts, such drastic measures are usually entirely unnecessary.

Our team has honed the art of discreetly fitting draught-proofing to period windows, ensuring their visual charm remains intact while delivering the following benefits:

  • Smooth operation when opening and closing windows
  • Elimination of window-rattling
  • Significant reduction in draughts
  • Considerably less outside noise

Whether you require draught proofing as a standalone service or as part of a comprehensive window renovation project, contact us today for a complimentary quote and site survey.

FAQs
