Where necessary, new sashes can be made using traditional methods, copying the original mouldings.

Where existing cills are beyond repair, old cills/external nosings (if rotten)will be removed and new full width hardwood cills will be fitted. By replacing the cill, the lower part of the box frame is re-built using the epoxy resin and fitting new half pulley styles, which will be as good, if not better, than the original frame. The picture sequence shows the work involved in a complete cill replacement:
All broken/cracked panes of glass will be replaced with 4mm clear, float glass (unless otherwise stated, a small stock of re-claimed glass is held). Cracked and loose putty will also be replaced.
We have a large range of brass replacement hardware: finger-pulls, pulleys, locks etc. Please see the Furniture Options page.
