Sash window restoration
Sticking, rattling, painted-shut sashes brought back to smooth working order — cords, weights, beading and glazing putty renewed, then finished in durable paint.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Is restoration cheaper than replacing sash windows?
In most cases, yes — and you keep the original timber, which is usually far better quality than modern replacements.
My sash windows are painted shut. Can you free them?
Almost always. It's one of the most satisfying jobs we do — windows that open smoothly for the first time in decades.
Can you match original paint colours?
We can match existing colours or recommend historically sympathetic palettes, from heritage whites to deep Victorian greens.
