The Sash Window Man

At The Sash Window Man, we pride ourselves on a sympathetic and considerate approach to the restoration of box sash windows. The sash windows in period properties are very important to the overall look and feel of the building. If the windows have fallen into disrepair the property can look shoddy.

Furthermore, failure to repair rotten sash windows can lead to additional and more serious problems caused by penetrating water. Sometimes the original sash windows may have been replaced with modern windows that are not in keeping with the style and era of the building.

What We Do?

We are experts in unsticking painted shut sash windows, servicing, sound and draft proofing, fixing rattles and making tired, old, neglected sash windows look as good as the day they were first installed. Whatever your sash window problem, we have a solution.
