Sash Window Restoration & Draught- Proofing
The Sash Guy’s sympathetic restoration will bring your windows up to a high standard. Sash windows are stripped back to the bare box and refitted with new beading. This is machined to house the invisible yet highly effective brush system. Sash cords are replaced and weights checked for the correct balance. Repairs to the sashes, frame and sill are carried out, if required.
The sash guys window repair process can include some of the following, dependent upon individual job, budget, requirement and quote:
Upper and lower sashes are removed and checked.
Major damage is repaired by removing rotten wood and splicing in new timber.
Loose tenon joints are strengthened.
Cracked, defective or loose putty is removed and replaced.
Sashes are re-corded with waxed cotton sash cord.
Broken or missing staff/parting beads are replaced.
Draught-Proofing is fitted. This consists of a perimeter sealing system with a fitted brush seal fitted to the mid-rail.
Sashes are checked for fit and ease of movement.
Our renovations do not include preparation for decorating ie sanding, filling unless agreed

New Sashes & Complete box Frames
The Sash Guy provides new sash windows, made of the finest quality timber. These may be required where unsuitable UPVC windows have previously been installed. Very occasionally, new sash windows are required to replace originals that are beyond repair. In any case, Guy’s team’s attention to detail results in a reproduction window that is equal to or superior to the original.
All of the company’s windows are bespoke and made to customers’ exact specifications; The Sash Guy does not offer “off the shelf” modern windows, as these look inappropriate. Because of this, the team is able to craft the style and size of window to suit your property, preserving the heritage of your home.
Single or double glazed sash windows can be supplied, with traditional weights and pulleys. A box frame in good condition can be fitted with single or double glazed sash windows as required. The Sash Guy maintains a stock of window furniture, available in chrome or brass. Satin is available by request.
