Each sash window is individual in terms of restoration and draught-proofing. However, we would expect to complete 3 or 4 medium sized windows in a day and replacing a cill takes roughly the same time as draught-proofing a sash window. We will be able to give you an accurate estimate at survey.
The quote for installing the draught-proofing system will depend on the size and condition of the sash window, which will be established at survey. The costs of replacement cills and sashes can be given over the telephone or by e-mail on request.
Yes. Over 100 previous customers have kindly consented to act as ‘referees’. We will gladly provide contact details for some of the nearest/ most appropriate on request.
No, the system is designed to be discrete and retain as much as possible of the original window. It is therefore automatically conservation approved and can even be found in many Grade 1 listed buildings.
No. All traditional sash windows can only be removed from the inside. Therefore all our work is carried out within the building. The beauty of our removal system means that once we’ve finished our installation, all sashes are easily removable from the inside for continued maintenance.
We recommend no sooner than 4 weeks to allow any fresh putty to go hard and no longer than 12 months. However, if your windows are in good condition and well decorated already, they will not require exterior painting any sooner than before.
Ideally we would like a 3m by 3m cleared area to operate in, however we realise this is not always possible. We are very flexible and will work with the space we have.
No, we are very good at containing any mess that we make. We will only begin our work once all carpets and surrounding surfaces are protected. We recommend that you remove all valuable items from the working area but we carry our own floor and furniture coverings for maximum protection.
N.B All our power tools are connected to a vacuum to minimise mess and we try to leave each house cleaner and tidier than when we arrived!
