Full Sash Window Restoration In Somerset & Dorset

Preserving original timber sash windows with skilled craftsmanship

Artisan Sash Co specialises in the full restoration of traditional timber sash windows across Somerset and Dorset. I focus on repairing and conserving original sash windows rather than replacing them, helping to preserve the character and value of period properties.

A full sash window restoration can transform draughty, sticking, or deteriorating windows into smooth-running, energy-efficient features while retaining their historic charm.

What is Full Sash Window Restoration?

Full sash window restoration involves carefully removing, repairing, and refurbishing original timber sash windows to return them to proper working order.

This process is ideal for windows that are:

Difficult to open or close
Rattling or draughty
Showing signs of timber decay or rot
Painted shut or badly maintained
Out of balance or with broken cords

Restoration is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than replacement and is usually preferred for listed buildings and conversation areas.

Whats Included in a Full Sash Window Restoration?

A typical full restoration may include:

Removal of sashes from the frame
Replacement of sash cords and balancing weights
Timber repairs and splicing of decayed sections
Draught proofing using discreet brush seals
Easing and realigning sashes for smooth operation
Repairs to glazing putty and glass
Priming, painting, and finishing
Reinstallation and testing for smooth, balanced movement

Every window is assessed individually, and only necessary work is carried out to preserve as much original material as possible.
