Sash Window Repairs

What we do:

In many cases a permanent repair is possible instead of complete replacement. This is achieved using a resin product from repair care international which is much more durable and flexible than normal wood filler.

Resin repairs are a very effective way of repairing windows and doors so that you do not need to replace the originals. Many councils and maintenance companies use it now to help prolong decoration life

How we do it:

All the rotten timber will be cut out and the remaining timber will be treated to prevent the rot spreading. We will then use new timber to replicate the rotten timber that has been disposed of and this will be bonded to the existing timber using the resin. The repair will be left to cure and then rubbed down and undecorated. 

We are able to replace part or all of the window sill. We can replace complete sections of sashes or just repair corners where necessary using the same resin product, leaving the sashes in good condition for years to come.

After care:

Once the repair has been completed by Traditional Carpentry you will require a decorator to complete the job. Unfortunately this is not a service we provide but we are more than happy to point you in the right direction. Finding a competent decorator is not always that easy and is a very important part of keeping your sash windows not only looking good but also in good condition for years to come.

Permanent repair:

The permanent repair of decayed or damaged timber has many advantages for the environment and also significantly reduces costs. The durability of Repair Care is in the quality of the products. We are so confident in our products; we guarantee them for 10 years.
