Pembrokeshire is a county of rendered stone cottages, coastal second homes and exposed weather conditions. 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
A sash window restoration is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Pembrokeshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
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.

Straight answers
Sash Window Restoration in Pembrokeshire — common questions
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.
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.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
