The good news is that we provide an entire sash window service, which includes the repair and installation of new parts to keep your windows in good condition for many years to come.
Generally speaking, sash windows consist of two frames, one on top of the other. The box is used to hold them together. This is placed in the opening in the building in which the window will sit, and the two inner panes are fitted with glazing bars. These bars allow them to slide up and down - opening and closing the window.
Sash windows were initially horizontally opening, but later were improved to open vertically. The inventor of this is credited to the British philosopher and architect Robert Hooke. He was a collaborator with Christopher Wren, helping rebuild the city following the Great Fire of 1666 and was responsible for several notable buildings, including Montagu House in Buckinghamshire and Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.
There are a few aspects that make sash windows distinctive and unique, such as the fact that they can be opened in a similar manner to a standard window. This is because sash windows have separate pulleys and weights to balance their weight. A cord that is hidden within the frame allows windows to be easily moved.
Softwood is the most sought-after material for sash windows, although modern windows can be constructed from a variety of different materials. Pine is a sturdy and robust material that is being used today, with installations of over a hundred years old appearing regularly. We also offer Accoya which is a laboratory-formulated wood that comes with the promise of a 50-year guarantee.

Screens for Entrance
The brand new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on every sub-surface platform. These screens offer digital advertising and information about the passengers.
The first entrance screen for the City of London Cemetery was a traditional construction of Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings as well as decorative carvings. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen.
Nanolime was employed to slow down the complex combination of decay mechanisms which were eroding the central panel. This avoided the need for costly stone replacements, and also provided an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
