01

Same-day response for broken sash windows

We operate a dedicated emergency window repair service from Monday to Saturday, between 08:00 and 18:00. If you are dealing with a dropped sash, a burglary, or accidental damage, we prioritise your property security. Our team arrives equipped to perform immediate, clean boarding and weather-proofing to protect your interiors from the elements. Once your home is secure, we move swiftly to facilitate permanent joinery repairs or the replacement of bespoke glass units.

02

How we manage sash window glass replacement

Every timber sash is unique, especially in historic Esher properties. Rather than recommending standard replacements, we assess the original box frame to determine if the existing timber can be saved. Whether you require a simple glass replacement for a cracked pane or a full swap of your glazing to A-rated double-glazed units, we ensure the new materials match your original profile. This approach maintains the aesthetic integrity of your building while improving thermal performance and noise insulation.

03

Restoring your sash mechanism after failure

A snapped sash cord often leaves a window jammed, dropped, or entirely unoperable. Our repair process involves opening the box pocket to replace old, frayed cords with high-quality wax-impregnated cotton alternatives. We then rebalance the lead or iron counterweights to ensure your sash glides smoothly as it was designed to. This technical attention to detail prevents further strain on the timber stiles and preserves the longevity of your historic frames.

04

Professional standards for Esher period properties

As a FENSA registered specialist, we maintain the highest standards for all repair and glazing work. You can expect a service backed by two million pounds of public liability insurance and a clear, fixed written quotation for any permanent works required following an emergency. We understand the local planning context across Elmbridge, including the care needed for listed properties and conservation areas, ensuring all repairs remain compliant. If you need urgent assistance, call 020 7046 0157 for same-day service across Surrey.

"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.
