Repairs

I am a trained specialist using a proven method and best quality materials in order to provide cost effective long term repairs for sash windows and exterior joinery. This can normally be done in-situ and at less financial or environmental cost than replacement. Sash windows tend to suffer from rot when water has entered loose joints, saturating timber end grain. Areas that commonly suffer are Sash meeting rails, sash bottom rails, window sill ends and window sill bottoms. I often encounter traditional filler and softwood repairs that have prematurely failed. The timber around a filler repair will expand and contract with moisture and temperature while the filler remains solid. The mismatched joint cracks and without regular painting, water gets in and the rot process restarts.
Draught Proofing

Draught Proofing

I have been successfully overhauling and draught proofing sash windows for over ten years. Sash window overhaul includes freeing of stuck or painted shut sashes, replacing broken sash cords, rebalancing weights, replacement ironmongery, additional security and glazing. Sash window draught proofing involves considerably more, starting with the removal of the sashes, beads and weights. First the sashes are machined for best fit and a draught proofing brush is fitted into the top / meeting / bottom rails. The sashes are then weighed and the weights adjusted before refitting with new cords. New parting and staff beads are also fitted that contain a further draught proof brush.

Howard has been thoroughly professional throughout. It has been challenging circumstances with many people on site and difficult weather. He has managed to complete the project with a sunny demeanour and excellent workmanship by putting in long hours. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Howard Greenland for your sash windows.

Sash Window Revival gave us a highly competitive price for draught proofing the windows in our home. Their window specialist was considerate and went to great lengths to ensure our property was left tidy during the works. The work was carried out within the agreed timeline and to a high standard. Thanks to Sash Window Revival we no longer have unwanted draughts in our home and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
