Georgian Sash Window Repair in Esher , Surrey

Georgian window frames are unique in their construction, often featuring fine glazing bars and specific mouldings that standard joinery cannot replicate. In Esher, we frequently encounter rot in the lower box sections or sill areas due to long-term exposure to the elements. Rather than opting for modern replacements that strip a building of its heritage, we use timber splicing and traditional carpentry to rebuild decayed components. By using seasoned timber that matches the original profile, we ensure structural repairs are both discreet and long-lasting.

Maintaining authentic sightlines while improving energy efficiency is a common requirement for our clients in conservation zones. We offer bespoke double glazing upgrades that are specifically designed for narrow-profile Georgian sashes. These argon-filled units provide modern low-emissivity glass performance without the need for thick, modern timber beads. Coupled with our draught-proofing service—where we machine discreet brush seals into existing parting and staff beads—we can significantly reduce heat loss and street noise while preserving the original box frame.

A common issue with older sliding sashes is a loss of tension or failure of the internal pulley system. If you have a window that has become stiff, dropped, or has suffered a snapped sash cord, our restoration service addresses these issues immediately. We open the box pocket to replace worn cords with heavy-duty wax-impregnated cotton, and rebalance the cast iron or lead counterweights. This ensures your sash windows glide as smoothly as they did when first installed.

Every restoration project we undertake in Esher is handled with the same level of technical rigour. We work to strict conservation standards and offer the peace of mind that comes with our credentials. All new timber installations are FENSA registered, ensuring compliance with current building regulations, and are backed by a comprehensive 10-year guarantee.
