Sash Cord repairs & Wood Windows

We at sash cord windows have a wide range of services for sash window repairs and timber window repairs in London.  We undertake simple jobs such as sash cord repairs to the more complicated such as sash window repairs and timber wooden repairs in London. We believe that original period sash windows and wood windows should only be replaced if it is absolutely impossible to do sash window repairs. The old wood windows in Victorian homes are made from wood which was naturally seasoned and thus lasted for a long time. These old windows face a common problem of the wood rotting away.

Our sash window repairs are done in a methodical way. We first do an initial survey of your wood windows to assess the amount of work needed. We remove the sashes and the boxes to see what needs to be repaired or replaced. We check and see the weights, pulleys and check to see if any sash cord repairs need to be done. We will inspect to see if any cord repairs are needed as it is important to know the condition of the cords. If the cords are frayed or painted then it is wise not to do cord repairs but to replace the cord itself as it can snap at any time. We also remove rotten wood from the sill and the actual sash and splice in new timber wherever needed. We replace the old ropes so that the window functions smoothly. We check for gaps which make the room draughty and seal all leaks to prevent draughts. We will oil the pulleys and balance the weights. We also replace the glass or change it to double glazed glass if the customer requests us to do so.
