– Breathing new life into period timber sash windows — preserving their beauty, improving their performance.
Sliding Sash Window Restoration & Refurbishment
Sliding sash windows are one of the most iconic features of traditional properties. When properly maintained and restored, they add enormous character and value to a period home.
At Timber Window Repair Services, we specialise in the full restoration and refurbishment of timber sliding sash windows. Whether your windows are rattling, draughty, painted shut or suffering from rot, we have the skills and experience to bring them back to their original condition.
We work on properties across the UK, and every job is carried out with care and attention to detail — using traditional joinery techniques alongside modern materials where appropriate.
What We Can Do For Your Sliding Sash Windows
Full Sash Restoration
Complete overhaul of the sash window and sills — stripping back, repairing or replacing damaged sections and re-glazing where needed.
Rot Repair & Timber Replacement
We cut out and splice in new timber to repair rot-affected sections, preserving as much of the original timber as possible. Where necessary, full sash replacements are made to match the original profile.
Sash Cord Replacement
Broken or worn sash cords cause windows to drop or become difficult to open. We replace cords, pulley wheels and weights to restore smooth, balanced operation.
Draught Proofing
We have developed our own draught proofing system, using discreet, brush-pile draught seals, which dramatically reduces heat loss and noise without altering the appearance of the window.
Re-glazing & Double Glazing
We replace cracked or broken glass panes, matching the traditional glazing where necessary. We also fit slimline double glazed units, where possible, into windows we have restored. This helps to improve thermal performance while keeping the beauty of the original window.
Painting & Finishing
New and replaced timber on each project is prepared, using high quality primer, ready for their final paint finish.
Why Restore Rather Than Replace?
Modern uPVC replacements can never truly replicate the look and feel of original timber sash windows. Restoring your existing windows is often more cost-effective, retains the character of your property, and — in conservation areas or listed buildings — may be the only option available. A well-restored timber sash window can last another 100 years.
