FAQs

It depends on how much work each window needs, how many there are and how easy they are to reach. A window that only needs re-cording and draught-proofing costs a fraction of one with a rotten sill and bottom rail. We survey every window and send a written quote that itemises the work on each one, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and compare it with the cost of replacement.

Yes. Repairs and paintwork are guaranteed, and the terms are set out on the written quote.

Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Birmingham and the West Midlands, and Lincolnshire. See the service areas page for the towns, or send us your postcode.

Usually not. Most of the work is done from inside the room or from ladders and our own access equipment. Where a tall elevation or a bay on an upper floor needs a tower, we say so on the quote.

Yes. Window painting is part of most restorations and is also available on its own.

Often, yes. Slim double-glazed units can be fitted into new or existing sashes where the timber is deep enough, keeping the original box frame. See double-glazed sash replacement.

A straightforward repair and draught-proofing of a single window takes a few hours; a full restoration with splice repairs and repainting takes longer, and a whole house is usually planned over several days. Windows are kept in the building throughout, so the house stays weather-tight.
