Complete Sash Window Restoration

With restorations, sash windows function as they did when first installed but now add value and beauty to the property.

Repairs for Rotted Sash Windows and Timber

Sash windows with rotten timber repair don’t always need costly replacements.

NJS specializes in sash window repairs and rotten timber repair. Depending on how ruined the timber is and where it is located, we can either use resin repair systems or replace the bad timber with new, good quality hardwood.

This method allows for preservation of the original window and is good for properties that are older with original features.

Sash Window Draught Proofing Peterborough

With age comes draughts and rattling for sash windows.

Sash window draught proofing decreases draughts and rattling, but keeps the window functioning as intended.

We also can do a full restoration service to check sash window components, so the sash windows function properly by opening and closing with ease.
