Wooden Window Restorations
Your Timber Windows Experts
Restoration Service Process
Here is a short description of how we carry out our full restoration service.
- Firstly, we take the windows off the box by removing the staff and part beadings. This enables all parts of the sashes and sash frame to be thoroughly sanded and fully painted. Removing the sashes also allows the paint to dry properly before they are re-installed.
- Then we sand down the sashes back to their original timber using our Festool vacuum sanding system which is used to eliminate the amount of dust produced.
- If there are any dents, chips or imperfections to the surfaces we will fill them and repair with a resin timber care system. We will also replace any timber if necessary.
- Any old paint that is present on the glass we carefully remove and re-glaze any broken panes of glass.
- At this stage we fit the draught-proof carriers to the upper as well as lower sash that holds the draught proof brushes.
- Once the windows have been fully prepared, we apply a wood primer followed by 2 coats of top coat gloss/satinwood weather shield paint
- The next stage is to clean and prepare the sash box. We sand it down, fix any rotten parts using the timber care system and replace any timber if needed. After that we check, lubricate the pulleys and fit new pulleys if necessary.
- The whole of the sash box is painted with a primer and 2 coats of top coat gloss/satinwood Weathershield paint. Once this is completed, we lubricate the outer sash box cheek to make sure its smooth running. We replace the old sash cords with new ones and re-attached any additional sash weights.
- The upper sash is attached to the upper cords and slide into place and the new wooden parting beads are installed. The same happens with the lower sash window.
- Once the sashes have been re-installed with the new draught-proofed beadings a final trim coat of paint is applied.
This is the end of the process of restoring your window.
Please note: There is always a balance between good window functionality and draught elimination, our services aim to reduce draughts by 95% whilst still retaining a good serviceable function of both sliding sash windows.

Restore my window it must stand for Absolutely Perfect Solutions! 🙂 Very pleased with the work the guys did for me. Super professional, communication was prompt and easy, they arrived on time and completed the work to a very high standard. They also did a few extra bits that came to light when fixing the window and didn't increase the original quote, which was just amazing value. Five stars, I definitely recommend them, and I will definitely contact them in future if I need any more work done. Thank you Restore my window.
