Traditional Sash Windows, Cared for Properly

Bristol Sash Window Services helps homeowners, property managers and commercial clients look after traditional timber sash windows. We work across Bristol and west towards Clevedon and North Somerset, repairing and improving existing windows where practical and discussing replacement when it is the better option.

Practical Approach to Every Window

A sash window that sticks, rattles or lets in draughts does not always need to be replaced. The cause may be worn cords, a problem with the pulleys, loose or damaged timber, failed putty, poor movement or gaps around the frame. The right work depends on the condition of the window and what you want it to do.

We look at the window and explain the options before work is agreed. This can include repairs, refurbishment, draught proofing, timber repairs, replacement sashes or a glazing upgrade where suitable. The aim is to find a sensible solution for the property while respecting the character of its original windows.

Work for homes, businesses and heritage properties

Projects range from work on a single window to larger jobs involving several windows and agreed timescales. Bristol Sash Window Services works with private homeowners and commercial clients, including property management companies, local authorities and universities. The company’s previous work has also included properties connected with the National Trust and English Heritage.

Traditional details matter, particularly in listed buildings and period homes. Any proposed change to the appearance or glazing should be considered in light of the property and its conservation requirements. Where consent may be needed, property owners should check with their local planning or conservation officer before work begins.
