Sticking, rattling, draughty or rotten, put right
Sash Window Repairs
Most sash window problems are everyday repairs, not a reason to replace the whole window. A snapped cord that won’t hold the sash open, a sash painted shut, a rattle that lets the wind whistle through, or a patch of soft, rotten timber. I have fixed all of it, thousands of times, over 25 years.
What’s involved
Windows that slide smoothly, sit quietly and do their job again, without the cost of replacement.
Broken or stretched sash cord replacement (re-cording)
Freeing sashes that are painted or swollen shut
Worn parting beads, staff beads and pulleys renewed
Re-balancing weights so sashes glide and stay put
Splicing out and rebuilding rotten timber
Easing, adjusting and getting windows working again
Recent work
A real repair, start to finish
A rotten cill and frame corner on a period sash window, spliced out and rebuilt in new seasoned timber, then filled, sanded and repainted. The original window saved, not replaced.
