Faulty Mechanisms

Sash windows rely on the balance mechanism to slide vertically. When the mechanism becomes faulty or imbalanced, the window may refuse to stay open or remain shut. This can lead to security concerns and affect ventilation control.

Worn or Damaged Sash Cords

Sash windows often have a system of ropes, cords or beads that connect the frame to the sash. Over time, these cords can break, become loose or wear out, leading to noise, draughts and water entering your home.

Rotten or Decayed Timber

Timber is susceptible to rot and decay, especially when exposed to moisture or humidity. Rotten timber can compromise the structural integrity of your sash windows and cause draughts, leaks, and other issues.

Inefficient Glazing

Old sash windows may have single-glazed panes that provide poor insulation, security, and noise reduction. Upgrading to double glazing improves energy efficiency, security and reduces outside noise.
