That way, Sash Window Experts deliver the best of both worlds: professionally restored and renovated sash windows that have been improved to a very high modern standard, making them fit for the homes of today and tomorrow.

We can restore and upgrade your period sash windows in Brighton by

Draught Proofing for Sash Windows

Poorly fitting old sash windows that rattle and let in draughts and dust are among the most popular reasons why householders may be tempted to consider modern replacement windows. But with the right skills, it is perfectly possible to draught-proof sash windows very effectively.

At Sash Window Experts in Brighton, we have perfected the art of fitting an unobtrusive draught-proofing system that won’t compromise the visual appeal of your period windows while delivering the following benefits:

Significant draught reduction
No more window rattling
Reduced outside noise
Smooth window operation

We can carry out draught proofing as a standalone service or as part of a more comprehensive window renovation project. Take a look at one of our recent draught-proofing projects here and get in touch for a free quote.

Sash Window Replacement

Occasionally, though thankfully very rarely, it is the case that an original sash window really is beyond the point of repair. If we encounter a window that cannot be saved, Sash Window Experts can manufacture and replicate existing moulding details and carry out precise replacement work for your period window.

And with double-glazing technology advancing all the time, we take the opportunity to install new double-glazed hard or soft wood sashes that use the Warm Edge Technology of modern sealed units while at the same time replicating the original moulding and horn detail of your original windows.

Do I need planning permission for sash window restorations?: If your property is a listed building or is located in a conservation area, it is highly likely that you will need planning permission before you can make any significant alterations or repairs.

  If I could clone you for all the other work we need to do over the next few years, I would! Thank you Mark for having such a good team in place. And huge thank you to Gary, Alex, John and Glen for taking such care of our windows and giving them what they needed after years (decades?) of neglect. Your attention to detail and 'doing it right' was very much appreciated, and your ability to solve problems was awesome.  Helen & Tim, Godalming

  Amazing service from start to finish, no issues and no drama. The name Sash Window Experts is well chosen. Mark and his team - Gary and John were extremely helpful and professional and the end product - new sash sound proof double glaze windows upstairs and the kitchen triple sash window restored was top quality. I am very grateful to Sash Window Experts.

  Cannot fault Mark and his team. We replaced the original sashes to our 1890's home with new like-for-like hardwood double glazed sash windows, and apart from being warmer, quieter, cleaner and altogether much smarter, you really wouldn't tell the difference - an amazing feat! They are absolutely beautiful windows, so well crafted and fitted, and the restoration of rot on the original box is imperceptible. Gary was friendly, clean, professional, and safe throughout the fitting, and very thoughtful in causing minimal disruption to the home. Absolutely thrilled with everything from the service to the price to the final finish. Delighted with them. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

  We were nervous about getting our Victorian French windows restored and had received a ridiculously high quote. Sash Window Experts came in at a good price, gave a timeframe that worked with our schedule and did a great job. All as promised. The fitter, Gary, put the doors back in with great care and took time made sure they worked smoothly and also discussed any queries with us. Definitely made the job value for money. Very happy customers! We are looking forward to beign able to open our doors again and enjoy the garden. Thank you Mark and Co!

  Our house is Edwardian and has the original sash windows from 1906. I really want to make sure that any double glazed windows did not look out of place - so the woodwork, including the side bars etc should still be very thin to match the originals. I was fearing ending up with fat wooden bars but Mark took me to see a previous customer and I was happy to see the woodwork there and it put my mind at rest. We went for the thin Krypton windows. Now the windows are in they look very good and match very well. To be fair to everybody, we will not know until the winter how well they remedy our warmth and condensation issues in the house but are confident we made the right choice.
Other suppliers would not do separate window panes and instead would only do a large window with a false wooden strip down the middle to make them look like two. We did not want that.
The carpenters, Steve and Gary turned up on time (early actually) and got on with the job very efficiently and left no mess behind.
I am very happy with the company and the windows.

  Mark and his team are amazing. They restored our sash windows and doors. Mark is really knowledgeable and passionate and explained the process to me so I knew exactly what they would be doing. Once the work commenced I was amazed by how well they draft proofed the windows. They took so much care and the guys were polite, tidy, timely and a joy to have around. I would absolutely recommend the team to anyone thinking of restoring their windows, they look AMAZING!

  Used these guys to do a total refurbishment on the windows of my 1870s Victorian Villa style house. Incredibly happy with the work and the guys doing it are just superb. On time to the minute every day, clearly take pride in the work they do and super friendly. Would not hesitate to use again!
