Services
Sash Window Repairs
We specialise in sash window repairs, from replacing cords and pulleys to full refurbishments. Our process includes decayed timber splicing, draught proofing, and industrial preservative treatments. Each project ensures smooth operation and longevity while preserving historical integrity for listed buildings and modern properties alike.
Timber Repairs
Our timber repairs address decayed doors, frames, and windows using quality joinery timber. We remove damaged sections, apply preservatives, and splice new materials without relying on filler. This method guarantees structurally sound, aesthetically seamless repairs for both traditional and contemporary structures.
Draught Proofing
We install draught proofing systems tailored to window gaps, meeting rails, and parting beads. By measuring each gap precisely, we fit custom strips to eliminate rattles and improve thermal efficiency while maintaining the window's original functionality and appearance.
Casement Window Repairs
Our casement window services include hinge cleaning, draught seal upgrades, and compliance adjustments for insurance regulations. We restore functionality to aged windows while preserving their original design, ensuring secure operation and enhanced energy efficiency for residential properties.
Window Restoration
We restore heritage windows using traditional techniques combined with modern materials. Our approach includes decayed section replacement, industrial preservative treatments, and Part Q compliance upgrades. This preserves architectural authenticity while meeting contemporary performance standards for listed buildings and conservation areas.
