Sash Cord Replacement in Leatherhead , Surrey

We do not need to remove the entire box frame from the wall. We carefully remove the internal timber staff beads and the sliding sash itself to get to the "pocket pieces" in the side of the frame. This gives us access to the weights. Because we are specialists, we do this with minimal disruption to your interior paintwork or wallpaper.

Yes. This is usually a weight rebalancing issue. If a window has been repaired poorly in the past, or if the glass was replaced with a heavier version, the internal counterweights will be too light. We calculate the exact weight required and add lead make-weights to the system so the sash stays exactly where you leave it.

We highly recommend it. Since the window is already dismantled to replace the cords, adding a draught-proofing system is very cost-effective at this stage. It involves fitting discreet brush seals that close the gaps where air usually leaks through, significantly reducing street noise and heating bills in South West London homes.

From our Battersea workshop, we cover all of South West London and parts of Surrey within 15 miles. This includes Wandsworth, Lambeth, Richmond upon Thames, Merton, and Kingston. If you have a dropped sash or broken glass that leaves your property unsecure, we offer same-day emergency repairs from Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 18:00.

Replacing the cords and rebalancing a single window typically takes between one and two hours. If you are having a full service including draught-proofing and pulley maintenance, it may take a little longer. We always provide a clear, written quotation after a survey so you know exactly what to expect.
