NO PLANNING PERMISSION NECESSARY
Where we repair your traditional sash windows on a like for like basis, no planning permission needed.
Repairing your sash windows preserves your property’s unique character and is more cost effective than replacement which requires planning permission on listed buildings.
We ensure longer service life, improved airtight sealing and a notable reduction in exterior noise and most importantly no rattling.
It has been an honour to carry our our unique set of skills on such properties as Samarès Manor, Rozel Manor and Jersey Chamber of Commerce Royal Square.
Â
 Sometimes sashes have simply been painted shut and need to be freed and so a service needs to be carried out. Whilst sashes are out we can replace any type of glass and re putty. Sashes are always draught proofed and well balanced and operate fully once a service has been carried out.
In more severe cases the sashes or frame have begun to rot and it they will need to be repaired with skill and care on a like for like basis.
Â
Framework restoration is carried out from the outside of the building and may require scaffold. However sashes are repaired from the inside of the building and are an extra part of the service.
Â
All rotten timber is repaired with like for like timber or premium accoya hardwood where permitted and primed twice.
Â
Our carpenters are local, highly trained and experienced tradesmen with over twenty five years experience working on Jersey properties.

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.
