TIMBER WINDOW REFURBISHMENT IN BOURNEMOUTH
Our Full Refurbishment for Timber Windows in Bournemouth focuses on the most common issues we see in period homes across the area – including stuck or painted-shut sashes, cold draughts, and flaking or failing paintwork. Timber windows in Bournemouth often suffer due to sea air, changing weather, and years of limited maintenance, affecting both appearance and performance.
Older windows can also leak air through small gaps, which together can amount to the equivalent of a 30cm hole. This means higher heating bills and a noticeable drop in comfort, especially in seafront or exposed properties.
The Full Refurbishment Package includes high-performance draught proofing, minor rot repairs using specialist resin, and replacement of key components like sash cords, locks, and handles. Everything is upgraded while retaining the original style and charm.
Finally, we fully redecorate the windows with a three-coat Remmers paint system to protect the timber and give a durable, smooth finish. It’s the ideal solution for Bournemouth homeowners looking to restore and preserve their original windows in one complete service.
BOURNEMOUTH REFURBISHMENT & OVERHAUL PACKAGE
Expert Timber Window Restoration for Bournemouth’s Period Properties
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 found in many of Bournemouth’s historic homes – 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.
All restoration work is carried out on site in situ, including more extensive repairs. Because timber restoration can be labour-intensive – especially where coastal decay is present – we’ll always advise if newly-made sections might be a more cost-effective option, ensuring the best outcome for your property.
Once repairs are complete, your windows will be ready for draught proofing and professional painting using our durable three-coat system.
Many of Bournemouth’s period homes suffer from cold draughts due to gaps in their original timber windows – in fact, the combined gaps around a single sash can equal a 30cm square hole. With sea breezes and colder coastal evenings, this leads to chilly rooms and rising heating costs.
Our draught proofing system includes replacing the old parting and staff beads with new versions containing discreet brush pile seals. We also install a slim seal behind the meeting rail to further reduce air movement – ideal for Bournemouth’s changeable weather.
All original window furniture – such as pulleys, sash lifts, and centre locks – is upgraded as standard. We offer a wide choice of finishes to complement the architecture of Bournemouth’s character homes and freshly restored timber 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. In Bournemouth’s coastal environment, we use high-quality specialist paint systems suited to your property’s age, condition, and exposure. Each surface is carefully prepared 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.
