Many sash windows have layer upon layer of thick gloss paint covering them and ensuring that they cannot be opened.
Carefully remove the top and bottom sash, so that the exact condition of the windows can be ascertained.
Any areas of rotten wood will be chiselled away, replaced and the join both sealed and weatherproofed.
Before being replaced, the windows will be rebalanced to ensure that the correct sash weights are fitted and run smoothly within the box.
The final stage is to fit any new catches and other window furniture that has been requested.

As well as being an important historical feature of any house, wooden windows are incredibly environmentally friendly - especially as we aim to source all of our timber from sustainable sources.
UPVc windows are chlorine based, a chemical proven to be toxic to the environment and key to the spread of dioxins around our planet.
Dioxins are released during their manufacture, and again when they are disposed of; and either incinerated or placed in a landfill site.
Their disposal is inevitable, as UPVc has a life span of around 20 to 30 years before it starts to yellow and eventually degrade.
