Renewing Heritage: Sash Window Repair & Restoration by Sash Window Solutions

Sash windows are a beautiful and historic feature, gracing countless properties across Cheadle and the wider Greater Manchester area. Their enduring charm, however, relies on proper maintenance. When these elegant windows start to stick, rattle, let in draughts, or show signs of timber decay, it doesn’t always mean a full replacement is needed. At Sash Window Solutions, Andrew and his dedicated team are experts in sash window repair and restoration, committed to preserving the original character of your home.

We understand that for owners of period properties, maintaining authenticity is paramount. Our approach focuses on sympathetic restoration, breathing new life into your existing sash windows rather than simply replacing them. We combine deep knowledge of traditional joinery with years of hands-on experience working on windows of all ages and conditions.

This expertise allows us to meticulously address a wide range of common issues:

  • Addressing Draughts and Rattles: Over time, gaps can appear around sashes, leading to heat loss and annoying draughts. We employ effective draught-proofing techniques that significantly improve thermal efficiency without altering the window’s appearance.
  • Repairing Timber Decay: Rotting sills, rails, or stiles are common but often repairable. Our skilled craftsmen carefully remove decayed timber and splice in new, durable wood, seamlessly integrating it with the original structure.
  • Restoring Smooth Operation: Windows that are painted shut or stick when opening are frustrating. We free up sashes, clean and lubricate tracks, and ensure smooth, effortless movement once again.
  • Professional Re-cording: A frequent issue with older sash windows is broken or frayed sash cords, rendering the counterweight system ineffective. We expertly handle re-cording of windows, replacing old cords with new, strong ones and ensuring the weights are correctly balanced for perfect operation. This restores the window’s classic function.
  • Replacing Damaged Glazing : We can replace cracked or broken panes, matching the glass type to maintain historical accuracy where required.
