Sash Window Restoration is an important part of retaining our heritage. At South Eastern Box Sash Windows we look to carry out sash window restoration whenever possible. We can replace elements of your window that have deteriated to bring them up to a good structural standard. We often splice windows back to sound timber. When carrying out sash window restoration we have a few key objectives. The first being to retain your original sash windows whenever possible. Cost of full replacement will always be prohibitive but not least the current sash windows you may have albeit in poor condition are likely to be over a hundred years old. The fact they can still be repaired after this length of time is a testament to the quality that was installed originally. Removing such quality because the window needs a new sill or even a full lower window rebuild is not entirely sympathetic to your property.

We have saved thousands of windows over the years and take great pride in the fact we have salvaged some fantastic joinery. Sash window restoration is rewarding for everyone concerned. A sash window that’s a hundred years old which hase been fully repaired, draught proof, and decorated is extremely pleasing aesthetically as well as being entirely suitable for a modern comfortable standard of living. By retaining and upgrading the features of our property we ensure they have the same character with that which they were originally made. Here is a typical example of how a sash window looks once fully restored.

Below is an example of the type of window restoration that we carry out on a daily basis. This particular bay window had been poorly repaired and patched over the years resulting in the need for us to entirely rebuild the lower segment. Unfortunately all lower casements were rotten and beyond economic repair however the upper segment of the frame and beautiful lead light were still in excellent condition. As a result we set about the process of bring this window back to life. If your windows are poor condition it is always worth considering restoration over replacement. This type or repair cost less than half of complete replacement and mean’t the owner was fortunate enough to have restored her windows back to there former glory. Why not call us to see if we can help you bring your windows back to their former glory today!
