Specialists in Grade One, Two and Star listed properties and we have worked on some of the best buildings including Wiston House in Steyning. Period buildings are mainly fitted with old sash windows and leaded lights or have been in the past. layouts of Victorian and Regency properties cleverly bring the outdoors inside the house with a vast expanse of glass known as lights.

Using only traditional methods of restoring the windows, good old-fashioned joinery and up to date technology in our own dedicated workshop facility at 1-3 Church Road, Portslade.

3 day Promise to restore your sash windows

With no waiting for joiners to make new windows or replacement parts. Best results happen when the sash is taken away. after getting to the workshop it will be stripped apart, restored and back within 3 days primed. Mouldings may need be made, because they may be unique to the building. Making the moulds with our very own profile cutting machine for the spindle moulder. Taking these things into consideration when we start a job allowances may need to be made. Every team member consider all the minor details including the mouldings and delivery timescales so we can try to keep to our promise.

while we are refurbishing your windows, we always strip the paint off the windows by burning the paint off. This would happen on the sashes including the box frames externally and sanded. Probably this is the only chance that your windows have had to have all the paint stripped off completely. To have a 100% overhaul since they were first made. Years of paint build-up of over a century or more can hinder the workings of the windows and make them not run fluently. Sashes will not work how they were meant to from when first installed. Constant restricted movement will happen and this makes what you have paid for not really worthwile.

Windows that aren’t prepared in this manner will mostley blister and fail in time to come. It will also give a second-rate finish which is not what you have paid for. Quite a lot of decorators have little experience when it comes to painting sash windows. Especially when the windows have been draught proofed. Its why we recommend this service and prepare everything to a standard that is second to none.

Usually the answer is no on listed properties at the front, but there are always exceptions with this product and rules are changing with different councils.
