Staffordshire is a county of potteries terraced housing, brick farmhouses and large post-war estates. 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
We build sash window restoration as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Staffordshire address.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
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 Staffordshire — common questions
How long does restoration take per window?
One to two days per window on site for an overhaul. If sashes need to go back to the workshop for splicing, allow two to three weeks and we fit temporary boarding or a holding sash.
Is it worth restoring rather than replacing?
If the boxes and pulley stiles are sound, almost always. Restoration keeps the original glass and joinery, is cheaper, and in a conservation area or listed building it is frequently the only option that will be approved.
Can you save the original glass?
Yes, and it is worth saving. Old cylinder and crown glass has a movement and a slight distortion that no modern glass reproduces. We de-glaze carefully, keep it aside and re-putty on reassembly.
Can double glazing be retrofitted into original sashes?
Sometimes. The rebate has to be deep enough to take a slim unit, and the sash has to be strong enough for the extra weight. Where it is not viable, secondary glazing or a high-performance draught-proofing overhaul gets much of the benefit.
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.
