"We are very happy with Eden Joinery's work: we had a completely new sash fitted, and four sashes fitted into our existing frames. Our windows look fantastic - and no more draughts! Terry and son were courteous, tidy, with competitive rates, and took obvious pride in their work. They went the extra mile to fix a problem with one of our frames, and all windows were finished to a high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend them."

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear guidance on our same-day emergency glazing, secure timber boarding, and heritage sash window repairs across Westminster and South London.

How quickly can you attend to a broken sash window?

+

We offer same-day call-outs across South West London and Surrey for urgent repairs between 08:00 and 18:00, Monday to Saturday. If we can’t finish the permanent joinery on the first visit, we will board up the window and make it completely weather-proof so your home remains secure while we prepare the timber or glass.

Can you match the glass in a conservation area or listed building?

+

Yes. We understand the strict rules in places like the Shaftesbury Park Estate or Richmond Green. We can provide like-for-like glass replacements, including ultra-slim double-glazed units that fit into original timber sashes without changing the historic profile or sightlines.

Do you repair uPVC or aluminium windows in an emergency?

+

No, we work exclusively with timber sash windows. This focus allows us to carry the specific tools, seasoned timber, and specialist glass needed to repair Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian windows to a high standard.

What happens if the timber frame is rotten as well as the glass being broken?

+

If we find rot while repairing a broken pane, we can usually save the original frame. We use timber splicing techniques to cut away the soft, decayed sections—often at the sill or the bottom of the sash—and rebuild the section using durable hardwood or Accoya. This is far more cost-effective than a full replacement and preserves the character of your home.

Is there a guarantee on the emergency work you do?

+

All our permanent repairs are carried out to the highest trade standards. If we install new bespoke timber windows as part of the restoration, these come with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee and FENSA certification.
