Sash Windows


Vikki O

Recommended Posts

HI

I have 4 sets of very old sash windows and the wood around them is getting old and soft in parts and of course they are single glazed, but i'd hate to replace them for modern windows - does anyone know a good way of restoring them / double glazing but keeping them in the original sash style?

Thanks

You can be double glazed timber sash windows but they cost thousands- I mean for a whole 3-bed Victorian terrace with double bays at the front it can easily cost 15k. If the double glazing isn't that important to you, you can have them restored. We did that we we bought our place and it cost roughly 250 per window (no bays) for the repairs. That combined with draft proofing and shutters made a big difference. If double glazing isn't a top priority, I will ask my husband who we used and PM you the details.

I had a very good company based in Bath replace my arched sash windows in a Victorian terrace for completely new ones, double glazed, with integral draft excluders and looking EXACTLY like the originals. The workmen had to stay in the flat for a week (while I vacated it to give them every opportunity to finish the work quickly) and everything was done really well and cleanly. go to www.sashconsultancy.co.uk

Dear Vikki O,


You can restore your sash windows very easily. I restored my sash windows, around the same number, actually. The boxes around the sashes were repaired and new sashes were made for them with double glazing. About 700? per window would leave you with new restored boxes, brand new sashes [absolute replica] with double glazing and new weights, draftproofed working sashes. Beautiful, basically. I used https://www.joineryworkshop.com although I'm in Derbyshire, they have a franchise for London https://www.london.joineryworkshop.com Hope you don't mind the plugs, but they saved my windows bacon. :) Ha


Good luck with your windows, Vikki. William.

    • We've been getting almost regular deliveries to the Gardens/ Kelmore grove again. It was awful at one point 6 months back. I suppose it's hit and miss depending on where you are. Our sorting office is Peckham.

At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc 
    • There are plenty of Jewish people on these marches, who have every right to stand up and say not in our name. A Jewish bloc attends every single one: https://jfjfp.com/voices/jjp-at-the-gaza-demonstrations/ Jewish peoples lives are being made less safe by this war, as we recently saw in Manchester and in the clear increase in antisemitism. They want to see Peace, and this will only happen with justice for the Palestinians. Most have - within living memory - members of their families who have been murdered by an authoritarian regime. They know what they are seeing and why they are marching. Calling going on march 'indulging in Jew hatred' is just ridiculous. You've clearly never been on one. Engage your critical faculties and think about why these marches are being smeared, rather than spouting what the right wing press and home secretary tell you.
