Regular sash window maintenance can significantly improve the condition and lifespan of older windows. Over time, moving parts can wear down, timber can deteriorate, and windows may become increasingly difficult to open or close. Small problems can also become larger repairs if left untreated.
We provide sash window maintenance throughout Kensington, checking the condition of sash cords, weights, frames, timber and other components to help keep your windows working as they should.
Jammed frames are common with traditional sash windows, particularly where windows have been painted repeatedly or left unused for some time. A sash may become stiff, stick at certain points or stop moving altogether. This can be caused by paint build-up, swollen timber, damaged components or an issue with the balancing mechanism.
Broken sash cords can prevent a window from operating safely and correctly. When a cord snaps, the sash may become heavy, drop unexpectedly or fail to remain open. Continuing to use the window in this condition can make the problem worse and may place unnecessary strain on other parts of the frame.
Our sash cord specialist can replace broken sash cords and inspect the associated weights and mechanisms, making sure the window is properly balanced once the repair is complete.
Gaps around older sash windows can allow cold air into the property and make rooms feel uncomfortable, particularly during the winter months. Our draught proofing service reduces unwanted draughts while allowing the sash window to open and close properly. Careful draught proofing can improve comfort in the home without compromising the window's traditional appearance.
