Coming from a carpentry and joinery background I soon found that I was most passionate about restoring and renovating old properties to their former glory rather than working with modern buildings. Sash Window Experts was started to focus entirely on the preservation of period windows and doors and our small team of craftsmen working from our workshop take great pride in the exceptionally high quality of our work whether it be reproducing whole new box sash windows or renovating existing windows and doors.

As Sash Window Experts, we firmly believe that the replacement of original sash windows should only be considered as a last resort. Whether the old sash windows in your home are draughty, damaged, rotten, hard to open or close, it is not only possible but also highly desirable to restore them back to their former glory. In fact, it's what we've been doing professionally for the last 25 years. Call us today on 01293 762 370 for a free window survey and quotation. When you're faced with rattly old period windows that have seen better days, it may well be tempting to replace your traditional timber sashes with modern uPVC windows.

Original sash windows may be an important architectural feature of your period home, but what do you do if they're draughty and rattly? Rather than consider replacement windows, you'll be pleased to hear that with the right skills, sash windows can be draught proofed very effectively indeed. The professional team at Sash Window Experts has 20+ years' experience of repairing, restoring and renovating sash windows all over the South East. We have a range of services on offer that are designed to keep your period sashes in perfect working order, draught free and beautiful.

Sash Window Experts are a team of dedicated craftsmen and carpenters. We've made it our mission to repair and restore the beautiful classic features and functions of period sash windows in homes across the South East. The iconic vertically sliding mechanism is at the heart of how to operate a traditional timber sash window. The double hung windows are counterbalanced by 2 pairs of weights that are hidden out of view in each side of the window. The weights are hung on cords that run over a pulley wheel at the top of the frame.

Our draught proofing seals can also be used on timber casement windows and doors as part of our renovation services. We remove the window or door from the frame and check that the joints are secure repairing with our epoxy resin where necessary. The edges are planed in to ensure an even gap around the perimeter. We then rout in a groove to accept the draught proof seal. By using our various sized seals we are able to ensure a snug fit between the frame and door / window.

We take an enormous amount of pride in the standard of sash window repair work we carry out, and being able to extend the lifespan of period windows and doors. Cill decay is a common problem due to paint deterioration, so we offer a repair service that helps to restore sash windows to their original strength and functionality. We utilise the same joints that were originally used to maintain strength and make the most of a specialist epoxy resin to strengthen the tenon joints that are used in sash construction.

Do you have a period property with original sash windows or casement windows that need restoring or upgrading? At Sash Window Experts, we recognise that double glazed windows are now an essential feature of the modern home, with many proven benefits over single glazed period windows. We work with the latest advances in technology in the double glazing industry to provide beautiful double glazed, hard or soft wood sash windows that have the following advantages. Recent figures have shown that somewhere in the region of 50-70% of heat in the home is lost through having single glazed windows.
