A considered restoration for tired originals
Sash window restoration in West London
Joinery repair, preparation, servicing and redecoration for original sash windows that need more than a targeted repair.
When this service fits
A considered response to the condition of the joinery.
When paint has failed and timber has been exposed, a thorough restoration can protect original joinery and return it to sound working condition. The scope is tailored to what each window actually needs, rather than applying the same treatment throughout.
Common signs
How the work is approached
Survey, scope, then do the work properly.
- 1
Assess the existing joinery
We inspect the frames, sashes, glazing, cords, weights, beads, putty and timber condition to establish what can be retained and what needs attention.
- 2
Set out the restoration
The scope is agreed by window, covering timber repairs, servicing, preparation, glazing and redecoration as required.
- 3
Restore and finish
The windows are repaired, prepared, serviced and redecorated, then adjusted and checked so the restored joinery looks right and works properly.
Typical scope
What the quotation can include.

Questions about restoration
The details worth understanding first.
How is restoration different from a repair?
A repair targets one or two specific failures. Restoration is a broader programme that can combine timber work, glazing attention, servicing, draught-proofing and redecoration.
Can you match an existing colour?
The finish and colour are agreed before work begins. The survey also identifies which internal and external surfaces are included, so the quote is clear.
