Where we restore and refurbish your treasured windows and doors on a like for like basis.
At Sash Window Repairs Jersey we offer a full traditional sash window repair service on a like for like basis that does not require planning permission.
Repairing your sash windows preserves your property’s unique character and is always more cost effective than total replacement which requires planning permission on listed buildings.
We ensure longer service life, improved airtight sealing and a notable reduction in exterior noise.
Sometimes sashes have simply been painted shut and need to be freed so they are operating with the correct balance with no rattling and less draught and so a basic service is required.
High quality sash cord and brushed parting bead is always used and both pulleys and fasteners will be replaced where required.
We can replace damaged restoration glass or normal float glass and re putty the sashes in the same day on all basic servicing minimising disruption to your home.
In more severe cases the frame and sashes have begun to rot and they need to be repaired with skill and care on a like for like basis.
With a full window restoration, customers can expect both sashes and frame to have paint removed and all rotten timber repaired with premium accoya hardwood where permitted.
Both sashes and frames can be re-painted to full spec on special request by our customers.
All of our restoration carpenters are local, highly trained and experienced tradesmen with between twenty and thirty years experience working on Jersey properties – Talk to us about any other historical woodwork repair that you may require.

In some cases the sashes have simply been painted over too many times and
need to be freed to enable them to move up and down fully and close securely. Sometimes sash cords have snapped or weights have fallen off and this can be the reason the sashes are not operating.
Other common problems are the sashes are rattling and letting out valuable heat and letting a cold draught into the home. Sound from outside on busy roads can also be a problem – Servicing needs to be carried out.
A service consists of removing beads, sashes and weights from the frame into the room of location of window. Sashes are then inspected to see if structurally sound and if not are relocated to a workshop for repair. Pulleys are also inspected and if needed then new ones are fitted.
Once repaired the sashes and sash weights are weighed to make sure the balance is correct. Sometimes extra lead add on weights are required to improve balance.
Weights and sashes are re strung using a reinforced waxed sash cord and a
draught proofing system is fitted.
Your sashes will now open and close effortlessly with no rattling, less draught and they will be more sound proof. New Brighton fasteners are available to ensure sashes lock securely.
