Sash Window Renovation and Draught proofing
One of the most popular services we provide, is the draughtproofing and renovation of your original sash and case windows, to bring them up to modern standards of draughtproofing and insulation.
The sashes are removed and the whole window is overhauled. The windows are thoroughly inspected for rot and any rotten timbers are carefully cut out and replaced.
A typical sash window refurbishment will involve
- replacing any broken glass,
- replacing any rotten sections,
- rebalancing and reweighting the windows,
- fully draught proofing the sashes,
- restoring the original casement,
- replacing the external pointing ,
- replacing all the ironmongery
- fitting new heavy duty pulley wheels
All draught proofing is discreetly run into the windows and does not alter the appearance of the windows in any way. This service is particularly suited to clients who live in listed buildings, as planning restrictions will mean that upgrading to double glazing is often not an option.
This service complies with all new town conservation regulations and planning guidelines.
The vast majority of sash and case windows in Edinburgh are repairable, but should your existing sashes be beyond repair, we can manufacture individual sashes to match the original, as well as offering a complete sash window replacement service.

2 over 2 with a 'through' astrigal making four individual double glazed units.
