Sash Window Repair Services

We focus on repairing your existing sash windows rather than replacing them, as long as they can be restored. Our team is committed to restoring the beauty and functionality of your windows, which not only saves you money but also helps preserve the environment. We provide a range of sash window repair services including:

Unsticking Painted Shut Windows:

Many older sash windows are painted shut. Our skilled craftsmen will unstick them, restoring their functionality without compromising the window frame.

Sash Cord & Weight Replacement:

We replace worn-out sash cords and weights, ensuring smooth and easy operation.

If your sash windows aren’t hanging correctly, our team will re-balance them for seamless movement.

If, in rare cases, your sash windows are beyond repair, we will advise on replacements that match the original design to maintain the property’s authenticity.

Timber Sash Windows Restoration

Is It Possible to Double Glaze Existing Sash Windows?

Yes, we can upgrade your existing sash windows to double glazing, which provides better insulation and energy efficiency. However, if you’re looking for a more cost-effective solution, draft proofing might be a better option. Our expert team uses high-quality materials to create a draft-proof seal that can achieve the same level of comfort and energy-saving benefits, without compromising the traditional charm of your sash windows. We’ll assess your windows and recommend the best solution for your needs and budget.

Can You Draft Proof My Windows Without Making Them Look Ugly?

Absolutely! At Beaulieu Contracts, we understand the importance of maintaining the aesthetics of your windows while improving their functionality. Our draft-proofing system is designed to be unobtrusive and virtually invisible. We use discrete materials and techniques that enhance the energy efficiency of your sash windows without affecting their appearance. The result is a more comfortable home with reduced drafts, rattles, and noise, all while preserving the classic look of your windows.

What About Security?

Security is always a priority, and we can enhance the safety of your sash windows with locking mechanisms. Our team can install custom locks that allow you to keep your windows slightly open for ventilation, while ensuring that they remain secure against intruders. We’ll work with you to determine the most appropriate security solutions for your windows, ensuring peace of mind for you and your property.

Is There a Way of Making Sashes Easier to Open and Close for the Elderly or in Cases Where There Is an Obstruction?

Yes, we can install a simple rope system or an upgraded sash mechanism to make it easier to operate your windows. This system is especially useful in homes where the windows are high or difficult to reach. It allows you to open and close the sashes with ease, which is particularly beneficial for elderly residents or anyone with mobility challenges. We’ll ensure that the system is discreet, easy to use, and effective.

My Windows Are Stuck. Are They Meant to Open?

In most cases, sash windows are designed to open—both top and bottom—though there are exceptions, such as side windows in certain bay windows, particularly in terraced houses, which may be fixed. Over time, however, paint buildup, wear, and other factors can cause your sash windows to stick. If you’re experiencing this issue, Beaulieu Contracts can help! Our craftsmen specialize in unsticking windows, repairing damaged sashes, and restoring them to full functionality. We’ll get your windows working smoothly again, just as they were originally designed to do.

How Do I Clean the Glass and the Bottom Bit of Wood on the Top Window?

Once your sash windows are properly serviced, they should slide easily to the top and bottom, allowing you to clean the glass and wooden parts from inside your home. Our restoration and repair services ensure that your windows operate smoothly, making regular cleaning and maintenance a breeze. If your windows aren’t sliding properly or are in need of adjustment, we can help with that as well, ensuring ease of use and cleanliness.

Will I Need Scaffolding for Windows Above Ground Floor Level?

In most cases, our team can carry out window repairs and restoration work from inside your building, especially for sash windows. However, for windows located above the ground floor or in particularly hard-to-reach areas, we may recommend the use of scaffolding. We will provide you with clear advice on whether scaffolding is necessary for your project and offer cost-effective solutions to ensure the job is completed safely and efficiently.
