Question 1

Is it better to restore or replace my sash windows?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, restoration is the better choice. Original timber is often denser and more durable than modern wood, and restoration preserves your home's character and value. We'll always give an honest assessment during your free survey — if a sash is beyond saving, we'll recommend a faithful replacement.

Question 2

How much does sash window restoration cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on the size, condition and number of windows. After a free, no-obligation survey we provide a fixed written quotation, so you know exactly what you'll pay before any work begins.

Question 3

Can you work on listed buildings or in conservation areas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work on listed and conservation-area properties across Bristol, Bath and beyond, and can advise on and support applications for listed building consent, including slimline double glazing options.

Question 4

Can you fit double glazing into my original sashes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install authentic slimline double-glazed units bonded into your existing sash frames, improving warmth and sound insulation while keeping the period character of your windows intact.

Question 5

Will draught-proofing change the appearance of my windows?

Accepted Answer

No. Our brush-pile seals are routed discreetly into the staff and parting beads, so they're virtually invisible once fitted — yet they can reduce draughts by up to 90%.

Question 6

Can you match original glass and period details?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We source reclaimed and mouth-blown cylinder glass, replicate traditional glazing bars and sash horns, and hand-finish every detail to sit faithfully alongside the original joinery of your home.

Question 7

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We're based at Unit 18, 178 Whiteladies Road, Bristol (BS8 2AG) and cover the entire South West — including Bristol, Bath, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.
