Sash Window Repairs Whether you have old wooden windows or modern aluminum ones they require regular maintenance and care to keep them in good working order. Having them repaired as soon as you spot any flaws is crucial, not just because it looks good, but also because it will save you money in the long term. If your sash window is not closing or opening properly, this could result in an increase in heat loss in winter and increased noise pollution in summer. It is possible to fix window sashes, without the need to replace the entire thing. The first step is to eliminate the window stops (the vertical wood strips that block the sash from sliding open). Begin by scoring the seal with an ordinary knife. Then, pull it off using an oblong bar and a sanding knife. You can then take the sash from the frame by gently pulling downwards on the movable part of the sash. If the sash is stuck then try pressing the outside flexible track inward and pushing it backwards. If the sash won't move it's time to take out and replace the weights that balance it which are heavy iron or lead cylinders enclosed in a hidden cavity. These weights function as a pulley to mirror the weight of sash. This makes raising and lowering windows relatively simple. Sash Window Replacement Many of the original wooden sash windows get to an age that they require to be replaced. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as the window becoming inflexible or visible damages, or energy efficiency issues. It is possible to replace a sash, without needing to change the entire frame. This is due to the fact that most of the damage to a window sash is caused by the window sash that can be moved itself rather than the frame. The first step in sash replacement is to take the full measurements of the window opening originally. This will help us determine the size of sash is needed to accommodate. Once we've done this then we can begin the process of removing the current sash. After the sash is removed, we can take off any window weights and ropes. This will stop the sash from closing and will make it easier to open windows. The new sash is primed. This helps to ensure that any putty failure in the future will not cause additional damage. It also helps to prevent moisture from damaging the timber We recommend that all windows in sash are primed as a standard. We can now install your new sash window. It's a easy process, we just need to align the pivot pins using the clutch and then press the top part of the sash to be pushed into its place. Also, we will need to install the new draught-seals on the window of your sash. Window Hinges uPVC or Aluminium windows that open with hinges let fresh air in and shield your home from drafts. However, with time, the hinges can become sticky because of dirt and smears. This will prevent the window from closing and opening properly. Replacing the hinges will fix this problem and keep your windows looking beautiful. There are a variety of hinges available, whether you have a top or side hung window. Standard friction hinges are a single unit with a mechanism integrated that can be controlled for movement and friction. These are commonly used for new uPVC double-glazed windows. Butt hinges can also be used to make replacement windows. They come in various sizes. Depending on the size of your window you can pick either an ordinary or fire escape hinge.

We also have sashfasteners that have a locking mechanism built into the handle. This saves time and money during the installation. Window latches or catches can also be put in a window in order to prevent the window from opening. They should only be used as a second measure to more comprehensive locking systems, but they are an excellent method to cut down on your energy consumption by preventing the heat from entering your windows, and forming an enclosure to keep cold out. They can also be fitted on older windows that do not have an original handle and are a straightforward, yet efficient solution. Internal Shutters Window shutters are a great way to add a bit of London into your home.

They are available in various styles depending on your needs, including full height shutters as well as Tier on tier shutters that can divide large windows into separate sections so you can open one set while leaving the other one closed. They can be made to accommodate any shape, so they can even be fitted to circular or triangular windows. They come in a variety of colours and styles to suit any interior design. Glass Upgrades It is common knowledge that old windows require replacement because they're 'worn out'. This is often erroneous and could lead to inappropriate adaptation. It is much more important to concentrate on the maintenance and repair of the existing windows. Draught-proofing is the best method to conserve energy and preserve resources. Repairing or replacing worn out wood components can extend their life. It is possible to improve the condition of timber casements by painting them thoroughly, cleaning them regularly and making repairs immediately after moisture (wet rot) is found. Severe wet rot is recognisable by wavy and cracked paintwork with the wood beneath being softened. It can be fixed by slicing in new wood sections, careful to match the original profiles. This task should be carried out by a firm specialising in the preservation of timber. It is also worth considering whether the glass can be saved. Modern floating glass can be used without affecting the appearance of historic windows and does not typically require listed building consent. Metals (such as wrought iron and steel) are quite malleable, which means that slight distortions may be able to be corrected without the need to remove the window from its place. If you have sections that match, you can replace severely damaged steel windows. You can weld replacement sections on-site, but you must be careful to record the process and only do this where it is safe.
