FULL REFURBISHMENT & OVERHAUL PACKAGE
Our Full Refurbishment for Timber Windows is designed to address the most common issues we encounter with period windows – from stuck or painted-shut sashes to rattles, draughts, and failing paintwork. Over time, exposure to the elements and lack of maintenance can cause timber windows to fall into disrepair, affecting both their appearance and performance.
Many older windows suffer from air leaks due to gaps that can add up to the equivalent of a 30cm square hole. These gaps let in cold draughts, increasing your heating bills and reducing comfort within the home.
Our Full Refurbishment Package not only includes our high-performance draught proofing system, but also careful repairs to minor areas of rot and decay using specialist resins. New sash cords, locks, handles, and other hardware are installed as standard, bringing your windows up to date while retaining their original charm.
Once restored, your windows are fully redecorated using a premium three-coat Remmers paint system – helping to protect the timber and ensure a long-lasting, high-quality finish. This comprehensive package is perfect for homeowners looking to preserve, protect, and improve their original timber windows in one seamless service.
FULL REFURBISHMENT & OVERHAUL PACKAGE
A Complete Restoration Service to Preserve and Protect Your Original Timber Windows
Our skilled team begins by carefully removing the existing beads and taking your sash windows out of their frames to prepare them for restoration. All original window furniture – such as pulleys, centre locks, and sash lifts – will be removed and replaced with high-quality new fittings.
Wherever possible, we work to retain and restore the original timber, cutting back any areas of rot to a sound surface. If necessary, we can also replace decayed cills, damaged profiles, or sash pockets, using our trusted resin system and traditional timber splicing techniques to ensure a seamless repair.
Most refurbishment work is completed on-site; however, in cases requiring more extensive restoration, we may remove windows or doors to be worked on at our specialist workshop. Because timber repairs can be labour-intensive, especially where decay is significant, we’ll always advise you if newly-made sections might be a more cost-effective option – ensuring the best approach for your property.
Once repairs are complete, your windows will be ready for draught proofing and professional painting using our durable three-coat system.
Timber windows that lack effective draught proofing often allow significant cold air into the home – it’s estimated that the gaps around a single sash window can be equivalent to a 30cm square opening. This not only makes your rooms feel colder but also drives up heating costs.
As part of the draught proofing process, we replace the old parting and staff beads with new versions that include discreet brush pile seals. A slim seal is also installed behind the meeting rail to further minimise air leakage.
All original window furniture – such as pulleys, sash lifts, and centre locks—is upgraded as standard. We offer a wide range of colours and finishes and will help you select hardware that suits both the style of your home and your freshly restored windows.
Our painting process is a key part of the full refurbishment package, ensuring your timber windows not only perform beautifully but also look their absolute best. Using high-quality specialist paint systems suited to your property’s age and location, we carefully prepare each surface to achieve a smooth, durable finish. Our team takes pride in clean sightlines and a refined appearance, delivering results that protect and enhance your windows for years to come.
