Common Issues We Fix
Our team always aims to bring your windows back to their former glory because we understand they’re part of your property’s character, particularly for period homes or listed buildings.
From our experience, most issues can be fixed, though more serious problems may require a longer timeframe to resolve properly.Common repairs include broken sash cords, faulty weights or springs, and cracked or damaged glass.
One of the most frequent concerns we see is timber decay. As wood deteriorates over time, it can cause the windows to sag, resulting in draughts, leaks, increased noise, and reduced insulation. We carry out a thorough assessment of each window and provide a tailored solution that suits your property, needs, and budget. With proper care, your windows can last for generations.
Our skilled craftsmen ensure using the finest products and the latest technology to deliver lasting results and comply with industry standards. Expect smooth function and beautifully finished windows once we’re done.

Ash and his crew brought our tired sash windows back to life. Smooth to open now, no more sticking or squeaking, and the paintwork is flawless. Really professional and tidy throughout.
