Bring Your Windows Back to Life
Original London windows — Victorian sashes in Stoke Newington, Edwardian casements in Hackney, Georgian sashes in Islington — are nearly always worth saving. Replacing them with uPVC is the easy answer, but it's almost never the right one for a period property. With proper repair, draught-proofing and a fresh coat of paint, original timber windows can outlast another century and keep the character of the house intact.
What's Included
- Sash window restoration — cord replacement, weights, parting beads
- Timber repair — splicing, splints and full sill replacement where needed
- Stripping back, sanding and full repaint with weatherproof exterior paint
- Putty repair and re-glazing of single broken panes
- Draught-proofing brush seals fitted into existing sashes
- Stuck windows freed and rebalanced
- New furniture — locks, handles, sash lifts, security bolts
- Internal woodwork — beading, architraves, sill repair and repaint
Unusual Window? Just Ask
We've worked on everything from leaded lights and stained-glass panels to large bay configurations and shopfront windows. If you've got something specific in mind — a window that won't open, one that rattles in the wind, an entire bay that needs stripping and repainting — send a photo and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth restoring or whether replacement makes more sense.
Why It's Worth Doing
A restored, draught-proofed sash window is warmer, quieter and dramatically cheaper than full replacement, and it keeps the property's value where it should be — especially in conservation areas where replacement consent is rarely granted. Done well, the difference inside the house is immediate.
