Cheshire is a county of black-and-white revival houses, Georgian Chester stock and large executive estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a sash window 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 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 Cheshire 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
Timber Sash Windows in Cheshire — common questions
Is it cheaper to repair the existing sashes?
Very often, yes — see our sash window restoration service. If the boxes are sound and only the sills and bottom rails have gone, repair is usually the better value and keeps the original glass.
Do I need planning permission or listed building consent?
In a conservation area, replacing windows usually needs permission and the replacement must match the original. In a listed building you will need listed building consent. We can supply drawings and a specification to support an application.
How draughty will they be?
A new sash with brush seals in the meeting rail, staff bead and parting bead is not draughty at all. The draught in an old sash comes from a worn rebate, not from the design.
Can you match the original glazing bars?
Yes. We match the bar width and profile from the original. With double glazing, a true divided bar with individual small units is the authentic route; a bonded bar with a spacer inside is far cheaper and reads correctly from the street.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
