Services
Draught Proofing
Our draught-proofing system involves dismantling windows, cleaning pulleys, installing brush strips, and re-cording sashes to eliminate rattles and heat loss. This process improves energy efficiency by reducing heat escape through gaps, ensuring quieter, more comfortable interiors. Ideal for period properties, it maintains original aesthetics while cutting energy bills.
Sash Window Restoration
We restore sash windows to their original condition by repairing timber frames, replacing sashes, and installing double-glazed units within existing frames. This service preserves historical integrity while enhancing thermal performance. Full restoration includes realigning components and applying durable finishes, ensuring smooth operation and longevity for Grade 2 listed and other heritage buildings.
Timber Repairs
Specialised timber repairs address rot, warping, and decay using high-grade materials like Dry Flex Resin and Timbercare products. We match existing wood types, including hardwood and BC Pine, to maintain structural integrity. Repairs extend the lifespan of windows and doors, avoiding full replacements while preserving traditional designs in period homes.
Joinery Services
Our joinery workshop crafts custom sash and casement windows, doors, and architectural elements tailored to specific periods or architectural styles. Using traditional methods, we replicate Victorian, Georgian, and other designs, ensuring symmetry and compliance with planning regulations. Services include on-site consultations and installations for residential and commercial properties.
Window Furniture Supply
We supply and fit high-quality window furniture, including brass, chrome, and antique finishes, to complement restored windows. Options include locks, pulleys, and decorative handles, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. Custom orders are available to match unique design requirements, ensuring a cohesive look for heritage and modern properties alike.

We had some new hardwood double glazed sash windows made and fitted by Louis to replace our old draughty rotting sashes. Louis was very professional from initial quote to the day of fitting. Louis and Adam were prompt on the day and not only did an amazing job fitting the new sashes but also cleaned up really well. The windows are an absolute joy! No more windows dripping in condensation and much quieter and warmer. Just need to save up to get the rest of the house done! Highly recommended.

About two years ago, Meridian Sash replaced our old single pane windows with double glazed sash versions (filled with argon gas and with draft proofing). The new units were created to fit the old frames, and to reflect the original design of the house. They look fantastic, and perform extremely well. We've had only positive feedback from visitors and neighbours alike. And, the house now performs much better in terms of energy costs for heating. Our experience of Louis and his team of installers was great, and we really appreciated having them in to do the work. We recommend them to anyone looking
