Sash Window Restoration & Reproduction
Preserving Heritage, Crafting with Care
Restoration and reproduction of traditional sash windows, helping homeowners maintain the original character of their properties while improving functionality, efficiency, and longevity. Whether you're looking to restore historic timber windows or commission faithful reproductions, our expert joiners deliver results that honour the past and perform for the future.
Sash Window Restoration
Original sash windows are a defining feature of many period homes — but over time, they can suffer from wear, damage, or neglect. Our restoration service is designed to bring these windows back to life with sensitivity and skill.
We carefully repair or replace damaged components such as sills, cords, weights, and glazing bars, using traditional methods and matching original materials wherever possible. This includes:
Timber splicing and replacement in matching species
Rebalancing and re-cording of sash weights
Draught-proofing and weather sealing
Repairs to or replication of decorative mouldings and profiles
Re-glazing with thin double glazing or heritage-appropriate glass
The result is a fully functioning sash window that retains its original charm and character while offering improved insulation and smoother operation.
Sash Window Reproduction
In cases where the original windows are missing or beyond repair, we offer bespoke sash window reproduction, made to match the historic style of your property. Each window is handcrafted using traditional joinery techniques and high-quality timber, with careful attention paid to proportions, mouldings, and glazing details.
We can reproduce sash windows for:
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Period property extensions
Entire home refurbishments
New builds requiring authentic heritage features
Whether you're matching Georgian, Victorian, or Edwardian styles, we ensure your new windows feel true to the building’s architecture while meeting modern performance standards.
Traditional Craftsmanship, Modern Comfort
Our sash window services combine timeless craftsmanship with discreet modern upgrades — such as draught-proofing, improved security, and optional double glazing — to bring lasting comfort without compromising on heritage.
