Timber sash window repair by Sash Window Preservation

Are you struggling with sash window rot, or other problems that are impacting the efficiency and safety of your windows? Sash Window Preservation can help you tackle your sash window repairs with professionalism. Operating across Greater London and the East counties, our team is here to help.

Sash window rot repair and rebuilds

If your sash windows, frames or sills are suffering from rot, or other issues that are impacting their structural integrity, our team will carefully assess the situation before carrying out a refurbishment. We understand that each window needs to be treated differently, and our years of experience in the field help us to tackle each sash window repair project with care and precision.

If the extent of the rot is minor then we would cut back any rotten timber, treat and then apply a durable, hard wearing two-part epoxy resin Repair Care treatment. Where necessary we will splice in timbers using traditional carpentry techniques.

The benefits of repairing sash windows

When it comes to window rot repair, our team will make every effort to restore your current window, with splicing techniques and careful repair treatments. However, in cases where the damage is extreme, we will replace your windows, sills and frames. We understand the importance of maintaining the aesthetic of your property, which is why we will replicate frames and windows to their exact original features. With our own joinery yard, you can be assured that where necessary all of the new joinery will be manufactured entirely in keeping with your existing windows.

Sash Window Preservation is a well-known company based in Norwich, with an excellent reputation. We are CERTASS qualified and a CHAS accredited contractor, a company you can rely on to carry out sash window repair and rebuild services to an exceptionally high standard.

Sash Window Repair FAQs

Can sash windows be repaired rather than replaced?
In most cases, yes. Rot, frame damage, and operational faults don’t automatically call for full removal, and assuming the worst before a proper look is taken wastes money. Because the work required varies significantly from one property to the next, each window is assessed on its own before any recommendation is made. We only advise work that is genuinely needed. Repairing rather than replacing preserves your building’s original character, extends the life of the windows, and costs considerably less than starting from scratch.
Can rotten sash windows be repaired?
Minor to moderate rot is repairable in most cases. Timber splicing and specialist repair compounds that bond properly into the existing wood are two methods we use regularly, and they hold well when applied correctly. Where only a single section has decayed, that section is removed and replaced while the surrounding frame stays put. This limits scope and cost at the same time. If deterioration is too far advanced for repair to make sense, we’ll say so plainly.
How much does sash window repair cost?
It depends on the number of windows, how much damage there is, and what each repair specifically involves. Minor work costs a fraction of full replacement. Before anything begins, you’ll receive a written quotation that breaks down per-window recommendations in plain terms. No vague estimates. Nothing appears on the final invoice that wasn’t discussed with you beforehand.
How do I know if sash windows need repairing?
Draughts, rattling, sticking sashes, cracked paint, difficulty opening, and water getting in are all signs worth acting on. Left unaddressed, these problems worsen, sometimes fast once moisture reaches the timber and begins spreading to adjacent sections or the ironwork. Catching it early keeps the job contained.
Is repairing sash windows better than replacing them?
Where repair is viable, it’s the route we recommend. It preserves original character, protects property value, and avoids unnecessary cost. If the deterioration is too advanced, we’ll tell you that honestly.
