Traditional methods, modern standards. Our restorations focus on keeping original box sashes, sash bars and mouldings where they are sound. We splice-in new timber to match original profiles, repair box weights and pulleys, re-run sash cords or fit braided ropes, and renew sills and staff beads with made-to-measure sections. Where required we install discreet draught proofing, sympathetic slimline glazing or secondary glazing to improve thermal performance without altering the window's appearance.
