Articles
- 01Repair or replace: how to decideRepair, in most cases: rot usually sits in the bottom rail and cill and can be spliced, and replacement is needed only when the box frame has failed.
- 02Before we arriveClear a metre in front of each window, take down curtains and blinds, and move fragile things off the sills; we bring dust sheets and floor protection.
- 03Conservation areas, Article 4 and listed buildingsRepairing and draught-proofing sash windows rarely needs permission; replacing them can, under an Article 4 direction, in a listed building, or where the new windows look different.
- 04What sash window repair costs, and what drives the priceWhat drives the price of sash window repair and restoration: condition, size, how many windows, access and finish. Why we quote per window after a survey.
