Eastbourne Sash Window Specialist

Sash Window Repair

There are many substandard sash and box frame repairs carried out by tradespeople that do not realise the specialist nature of this type of heritage restoration work. Many repairs are made incorrectly with kiln-dried timber. This type of timber can cause hardening and shakes and does not withstand the elements and natural changes in the same way as air-dried timber. This is due to the fact that kiln-dried timber does not dry out at the same rate on the inside and the outside, creating detrimental changes as the wood ages.

Sash Heritage Restoration only used 100-year-old, seasoned and air-dried timber for all restoration work that requires any new wood. We know that the air-dried timber we use is already balanced with its surroundings, and as such it is a crucial part of our work.

Our replacement sash window frames and repairs to window sills are made using air-dried timber, preventing any premature rotting and helping any paintwork to last longer.

This timber is used in combination with the superior DryFlex Woodcare system to ensure a world-class standard of heritage window restoration. Sash Heritage Restoration can make repairs that will look beautiful and stand up to wear and tear, natural aging and the elements for many years ahead.

Our team of experts consider the restoration of original sash and box frame windows to be a fine art, and like most arts, their techniques have been perfected and refined over many years of experience!

The team can fully prepare wood surfaces to their original state and complete decoration after the restoration of any framework. Sash Heritage Restoration use materials of the highest quality, including treatments to your window frames that prevent the paintwork of your property’s exterior from becoming loose or damaged prematurely.

In addition, much of our interior painting is also carried out with exterior paint to ensure that our restorations stay as beautiful and knock-resistant for as long as possible.

We use Slimlite double glazing and the Dryflex Woodcare System

When air-dried, 100-year-old timber is used, this means your windows will last for many more years ahead and any repairs will cost far less than a kiln-dried timber replacement.

We can keep our standards high while remaining financially competitive due to our ability to keep all our repair services in-house – from the smallest cord or pulley repairs to complete wooden window frame and glazing restorations. We are familiar with a range of local property types, including Victorian terraces, grade and listed buildings, conservation projects and semi-patched properties.
