Sash window servicing and draught proofing

Servicing and draught-proofing

If your sash windows are jammed, or the cords are broken, then a service and draught proofing from us will get them working smoothly again. It will eliminate draughts, rattles, save heat, energy, money and will improve sound-proofing.

How do we do it?

We remove the sashes; then we can clean the sash box. We check that the sashes fit squarely within the sash box and re-shape the sashes if required. We repair any rot and replace any missing putty. Next, we install a new top of the range draught-proofing system, re-balance the sashes using additional lead if required and re-fit the sashes using a highquality waxed cotton cord.
