Trusted Timber Sash Window Repair Cambridge
Cambridge is a city which still has a large number of original sash windows, many of which are over 100 years old. Sash Window Preservation carries out sash window repair in Cambridge, keeping the original frames and sashes in working order as opposed to replacing them.
Cambridge Sash window rot repair and rebuilds
The commonest problem with windows in the terraces off Mill Road and in Romsey is that they have been painted shut, or that a cord has broken, so that the sash will not stay up. Cills and the bottom rails of the lower sashes are most susceptible to rot, as the water which penetrates through older paint collects here.
Minor rot is cut back, treated and rebuilt using the two-part epoxy resin Repair Care system. Larger areas of decay are cut out and the areas replaced with new timber using traditional carpentry techniques. The cords are renewed and the pulleys freed at the same visit.
The benefits of repairing sash windows in Cambridge
In central older Cambridge many properties are in conservation areas whilst in the villages such as Grantchester many of the properties are listed or of historic interest. Repair keeps the original windows in these buildings. Windows are individually assessed rather than treated as if they were all the same. Where a sash or sill is beyond saving, a replica of the original profile is made in our own workshop in Norwich and new sashes are made using Accoya, an FSC certified and Cradle to Cradle certified timber.
Our joinery is made in our workshop in Norwich. Sash windows have been restored by ourselves since 2010, but it is older period and listed properties that are our main field of work. We are a CERTASS qualified company and CHAS accredited contractor.
