Sash window refurbishment
Our sash window refurbishment service involves repairing decayed timber frames using Tricoya wood, ensuring durability for up to 20 years. We remove rot, replace damaged sections, and apply protective treatments to preserve the window's original character. This process includes draught-proofing and paintwork with a 8-year guarantee, making it ideal for Grade 2 listed properties.
Double glazing retrofit
We retrofit vacuum double glazing units into existing sash windows, improving thermal efficiency without altering their historic appearance. The process includes frame reinforcement, weight adjustments, and draught-proofing to meet modern energy standards while preserving conservation compliance for listed buildings.
Draught-proofing
Our draught-proofing service seals gaps in sash windows to reduce heat loss and noise pollution. Combined with double glazing, it enhances energy efficiency by up to 10%, offering cost savings and improved comfort for period property owners.
Listed building repairs
Specialising in Grade 2 listed properties, we perform like-for-like repairs to timber windows without requiring planning permission. Our methods preserve original features while addressing rot, functionality issues, and thermal performance through vacuum glazing and traditional joinery techniques.
