Sash Window Repairs

During a survey some sashes or window sills can be found to be in poor condition and will need to be repaired or replaced. If a repair is not possible, a new like for like replacement will be made to the exact original specification. It is common for the window sills to rot and window tenon joints to become loose.

Where rot is found it will be removed back to solid timber. At Classic Sash Restoration we use a two part epoxy resin based filler which is left to harden, sanded and primed. Any loose window tenon joints are cleaned out, glued, tightened with screws, filled, sanded and reprimed.

Broken and cracked glass is common with old windows and will be pointed out during the survey. Replacement glass comes in either clear float or patterned. Toughened or safety glass has to be used for any glazing under 800mm from floor level to comply with health and safety laws.
