Window Repairs: What’s involved?

Repairing windows will help retain the character and charm of older buildings and can often be the cheaper choice.

Most issues with timber windows can be fixed, including foggy windows, rotten frames and sticking sashes. The decision to keep original windows is down to customer preference and budget. 

However, if the windows are beyond repair or if there aren’t any left in place, our company manufactures authentic replacements.

The Benefits of Windows Repairs:

• A cill that was beyond repair – Replaced
• It rattled & was draughty - Draught proofed
• Really difficult to operate - Eased and balanced, lifters introduced.
• Highly exposed to weathering – Sealed & decorated
• A Crack in the glass – Re-glazed
• Unsecured – New locks and opening limiters fitted
• Unsightly – Perfectly finished & professionally decorated

Refurbishing Sash Windows

Sashes are heavy and prone to jamming and sticking, or they may slide down uncontrollably. Sash windows are fairly straightforward to overhaul. Common problems such as broken sash cords and jammed pulleys are obvious and easily fixed, but other defects are less obvious.

A1 Bespoke Joinery prefers to repair sash windows wherever possible and even use your original joinery because we believe that it is the best way to retain original period features. We also provide double glazing while still maintaining the elegance of the original sash windows.

Here’s what our specialists can do:

• remove windows from frames
• inspect timber
• replace timber where necessary (if existing wood is beyond restoration)
• use quality epoxy resin to fill gaps or holes that will always flawlessly match your existing design
• replace deteriorated sash cords
• service pulleys
• balance sashes
• eliminate all draughts
• terminate irritating rattles
• clean, maintain and paint wherever necessary
