Making a positive difference to your home, your purse and the environment
Improve your home
Draught-proofing sash windows can reduce air leakage by 86% (figures from Centre for Research on
Indoor Climate and Health, Glasgow Caledonian University) and can cut your heating bills in half.
Restored windows reduce draughts, noise and dust ingress making your home a more comfortable
environment.
Rotting windows offer a security risk as they are easier to break into, restoring them increases your
security and peace of mind.
Fully working sash windows are elegant, slide noiselessly and, when perfectly balanced and weighted,
will stay open at the point you want them to. This means you can leave them wide open in the summer
or just a touch open to ventilate the room in the colder months.
We can fit restriction locks that allow the window to open just 100mm (4 inches) for children's rooms or
street level rooms to prevent an opportunist break-in.
Restored windows offer a fire escape. Old windows that have been painted closed do not and these
would have to be destroyed by the emergency services if urgent entry were required.
When restoring your windows we will ensure that your locks and catches work well, increasing security in
your home.
Enjoy value for money
It costs less to restore a window than replace it. Sash window repair can start from as little as £225. New
sash windows (timber or uPVC tend to cost around £2,000).
82% of estate agents believe sash windows tend to add value to a property (poll by English Heritage).
Greater thermal efficiency will help you to lower your heating bills.
Unlike national companies and franchises, we are a local firm who are able to keep our overheads to a
minimum and our costs competitive.
All of our work carries a five year guarantee.
Protect the environment
When replaced, old windows end up in landfill sites, restored windows minimise this.
Replacement windows rarely capture the original character of a building and can look out of place,
particularly in an area with many historic buildings
Wood is a renewable resource
In Europe, 40% of our energy use is consumed in buildings. This is more than the energy used by
industry or transport. According to the European Commission, half of this could be saved through
improved insulation. This includes draught-proofing, secondary glazing, close fitting blinds and heavy
curtains.
"It’s such a relief to find people you know you can trust."
