We had the pleasure of Sash Window Preservation replacing sash window to our property and Jack and Nick completed the works in a polite and professional  manner.  I was was in the construction industry for over 45 years and find it hard to find any
fault with these men. They were polite, reliable and very neat and tidy and nothing was too much trouble.
They have done an excellent job
I would highly recommend Jack and Nick and of course Sash Window Preservation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our old sash windows restored and partially replaced, and the result is excellent. The craftsmanship is outstanding — the new windows are beautifully made and blend seamlessly with the originals, preserving the character of the property while significantly improving performance.

Installation was carried out to a very high standard. The team — Adam, Ricky, George, and Gary — were professional, efficient, and clearly took pride in their work. Attention to detail was evident throughout, and everything was left clean and tidy at the end of each day.

Overall, a very high-quality job from start to finish. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary and his wonderful team (George, Nick and Jack if I remember correctly) replaced our 120 year old Edwardian sash windows for exact modern double glazed replicas and we could not be more pleased. Beautiful windows, there is much less noise and the rooms are no longer cold. They draught proofed an older window too which now is like new. Fast and efficient service, and certainly fairly priced. Thank you! 10/10.

Timber Sash Window Repair Colchester

Trusted Timber Sash Window Repair Colchester

Colchester is very old and much of this history is visible in the buildings around the castle, such as the Dutch Quarter and the top of East Hill. Sash Window Preservation carries out sash window repair in Colchester and travels from our Norwich workshop along the A12.

Colchester Sash window rot repair and rebuilds

The area south of town includes Wivenhoe and Rowhedge facing each other over the River Colne, and West Mersea sits on the island at the estuary mouth. These houses get more wind and salt than those in the town and thus paint will fail and sills will rot sooner than in town houses. Cords wear, pulleys stiffen and sashes stick in warped frames.

Soft timber is cut back, treated and rebuilt using the two-part epoxy resin Repair Care system with new timber sections spliced in as required. We replace worn-out cords and attempt to retain the original glass wherever possible.

The benefits of repairing sash windows in Colchester

Many of the houses around the old walls are older than their windows, with the original timber frames hidden behind later fronts. The windows of many old properties, especially in the oldest part of town, are of unusual size and often not square. The walls of old buildings have often moved slightly, many of them are listed, and new standard sized replacement windows would never fit well. Where a sash cannot be saved it is made from new in our Norwich joinery yard using Accoya timber to re-create the original profile.

Sash Window Preservation is based in Norwich and has restored sash windows since 2010. We are CERTASS qualified and a CHAS accredited contractor. Our teams ensure that work areas are left clean and tidy each evening and windows secure overnight.

Sash Window Repair FAQs

Do you provide sash window services in Colchester?

Yes. We work across the town, from the Dutch Quarter, Castle Park and East Hill to Lexden, Lexden Road, New Town, Mile End and Stanway. South of town we cover Wivenhoe and Rowhedge on the River Colne, and West Mersea on the island at the estuary mouth.

Do you work on Victorian and Georgian properties in Colchester?

Yes. Sash windows were added to many older houses around the walls as Georgian fashion arrived. The town grew out from the old walls in Victorian and Edwardian eras with streets of original sashes. The larger properties along Lexden Road and in Lexden itself have very large sashes, while New Town has streets of smaller terraced houses.

Can sash window efficiency be improved in older Colchester homes?

Yes. The most common problems are sashes that will not stay open, windows that rattle in the wind and draughts around the meeting rails. Most can be put right by cord renewal and draught proofing, with secondary, double or vacuum glazing where the building allows.

Can sash windows be upgraded while keeping their original appearance?

Yes. As we understand listed status, we would work with the property owner and with the conservation officer before any original joinery is altered or replaced. Repairs are like for like and done without disturbing the character of the property.

Why should I choose Sash Window Preservation for my Colchester property?

We have carried out the repair of a curved bay window in Essex, some of the more challenging work for a sash window specialist. Contact us for a free onsite or video quotation and a written quote. Call 01603 908 252.
