Balham and Tooting Bec are known for their handsome Edwardian terraces, Victorian family homes, period conversions, and character-packed high-street buildings. Many of these properties still feature original timber sash and casement windows, which is a huge part of the local architectural charm. Over time, these windows can suffer from rot, draughts, rattling panes, peeling paint, sticking sashes, or general wear. But replacement isn’t the only option.

At Sash Restoration London, we specialise in timber window repairs across Balham and Tooting Bec, offering craftsmanship that respects period architecture while delivering modern comfort and long-lasting performance.

Why Choose Timber Window Repair Instead of Replacement?

Whether you live near Tooting Bec Common, Ritherdon Road, Bedford Hill, or Balham High Road, your original timber windows can almost always be restored.

Repairing your windows offers several advantages:

Preserves the property’s historic character and curb appeal
Cheaper and more sustainable than replacing windows
Improves energy efficiency with discreet draught-proofing
Fixes operational issues such as stiff or jammed sashes
Reduces noise — ideal for busier streets in SW12 & SW17
Extends lifespan by decades when done professionally

Modern uPVC replacements rarely match the appearance or value of traditional timber windows. Restoration keeps your home authentic.
