Sash Window Restoration in Brighton, East Sussex

Sash windows instil character and charm in historic properties. Unfortunately, as they age, timber windows tend to depreciate.

Working with the right restoration company can ensure that your sash windows will be fully functional again and also energy-efficient.

Draught proofing

Air gaps in sash windows lead to rattling, heat loss, draughts, dusty rooms, and infiltration of external noises. Our sash window specialists can draught-proof your sash windows and eliminate these problems.

Rotten windowsill repair

The more your windowsills deteriorate, the easier it is for the rest of your timber windows to follow suit. With time, rot sets in, and this marks the beginning of the end for your sash window. A premium service that we offer to clients in and around the Brighton and Hove area is restoration of rotten windowsills.

Our experts carefully remove each sash from its opening and then strip off the old paint and putty. Afterwards, the joints are re-glued, and the sash window is restored to its initial, perfect condition.

Glass replacement

We can replace your glass with wavy glass, salvaged glass, or reproduction glass. Replacement, however, is a service we offer only in cases when your glass is missing or is worn out beyond repair. One of our main concerns is to ensure that the replacement glass matches the original as closely as possible. We will restore and replace all the damaged parts of your window for both functional and aesthetic purposes.

Painting

As part of our restoration services, we offer both internal and external sash window painting. Interior sash can be either painted or stained. Exterior sash, on the other hand, is always painted to ensure maximum weather protection. To avoid the danger of painting the windows shut, you should always use the services of professionals.
