Sash Window Restoration In Martock, Somerset

This sash window in Martock had been completely sealed shut for over 12 years.

The original cords and weights were missing, and the sashes had effectively been locked in place. The window couldn't be opened at all and had been left unopened for years.

Rather than replacing it we carried out a full restoration to bring it back into working order while keeping the original features intact.

Sash window before restoration

Before work began the sash was completely stuck and had not been opened in years and non functional. The internal weight pockets were full of debris and the balance system had failed entirely preventing the window from functioning.

Work carried out:

New pulleys installed
New sash cords fitted
New weights added
Full re-balancing
Minor timber repairs
Primed and painted in white
Draught proofing
New window furniture

Sash window after restoration

The window is now fully operational for the first time in over a decade. It opens and closes smoothly while retaining its original appearance.
