Lancashire is a county of stone terraces in the mill towns, seaside boarding houses and rural farmhouses. That is exactly the kind of building stock a sash window restoration has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every sash window restoration we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Lancashire, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Sash Window Restoration in Lancashire — common questions
Will draught-proofing alone make a difference?
A significant one. Most of the discomfort from an old sash is air movement, not glass conduction. A full brush-seal overhaul typically cuts the draught to near zero for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Do you paint them afterwards?
We prepare, prime and can apply the full finish, or leave them primed for your decorator. Repaired areas need the same coating system as the rest for the finish to wear evenly.
How do you deal with rot?
We cut the decayed timber out entirely and splice in new — usually Accoya — with a scarfed and glued joint. Filler over rot is a cosmetic fix that fails within two years; we do not do it.
What is involved in overhauling the mechanism?
Ease the sashes, renew the cords, check and rebalance the weights, replace worn pulleys, and refit the beads with new brush seals. Done properly the window runs with one finger and stays where you leave it.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
