Frequently Asked Questions About Sash Window Services
What is sash window restoration and how does it differ from replacement?
Sash window restoration focuses on repairing and revitalising your existing timber windows, addressing issues like rot, broken cords, and sticking sashes, to bring them back to their original condition and functionality. Replacement involves removing the old window entirely and installing a brand new one, which can be costly and may not match the property’s original aesthetic.
Is it always better to repair my sash windows than replace them?
In most cases, yes. Repairing and restoring existing sash windows is often more cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and preserves the authentic character of your property, particularly in historic or period homes. Replacement should only be considered when the windows are beyond repair or if a modern alternative is explicitly desired.
How can I tell if my sash windows are suitable for restoration?
Most timber sash windows, even those with significant decay, can be restored. Signs that indicate suitability for restoration include visible rot, draughts, rattling, difficulty opening or closing, or broken glass. A professional survey from MGT Sash Windows can accurately assess their condition.
Can heavily damaged or decayed sash windows be restored?
Yes, even heavily damaged or decayed sash windows can often be restored. Our skilled craftsmen employ traditional joinery techniques to splice in new timber, repair intricate details, and strengthen the window’s structure, saving it from costly replacement.
Will restoring my sash windows improve my home's energy efficiency?
Absolutely. A key benefit of sash window restoration by MGT Sash Windows includes enhanced draught proofing and the option for Slimlite double glazing. These improvements significantly reduce heat loss, eliminate cold spots, and can lead to noticeable savings on your energy bills.
How long does a typical sash window restoration project take?
The duration of a sash window restoration project varies depending on the number of windows, their condition, and the scope of work required. A single window might take a day or two, while a whole house can take several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial survey.
Will restoration alter the original appearance of my windows or property?
Our restoration process is meticulously designed to preserve the original appearance and character of your windows and property. We match timber, profiles, and finishes to ensure the restored windows seamlessly blend with the existing architectural style.
Can MGT Sash Windows match the original style and design of historic windows?
Yes, our craftsmen are experts in traditional joinery and possess a deep understanding of period window styles. We can precisely match the original design, profiles, and historical details of your windows, ensuring authenticity and aesthetic integrity.
Is sash window restoration a sustainable choice for my home?
Sash window restoration is a highly sustainable choice. It extends the life of existing materials, reduces landfill waste, and avoids the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing new windows. By improving energy efficiency, it also contributes to a greener home.
What considerations are there for properties in conservation areas or listed buildings?
For properties in conservation areas or listed buildings, we understand the specific regulations and requirements. Our restoration work adheres to strict English Heritage standards, ensuring all modifications are sympathetic to the building’s historical significance and comply with local planning guidelines.
Will the repair or renovation work create a lot of mess in my home?

What our customers are saying
The work was excellent
Marco repaired two sash windows for me. The work was excellent, the price good value and Marco was courteous and professional throughout. I would happily recommend him.
Impressed
We used Marco for both window refurbishments and replacement sashes in our Edwardian home. Absolutely nothing negative to say about the service, high quality and excellent delivery of the job. We love our new windows and were impressed with Marco. He was tidy, thorough and professional throughout and we would highly recommend him. The job price was also very competitive.
A friendly and professional service throughout
I was very satisfied with the work from estimate to completion. Marco was thorough in identifying what needed to be done, explained it in detail and outlined all the options. He was reliable throughout the process. Dates and times were adhered to and the installation went smoothly. They tidied up at the end of the day and left everything clean when the job was finished. A missing part was reordered and fitted within three working days. A friendly and professional service throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Went above and beyond
Marco did an absolutely superb job repairing my bay window. He went above and beyond in order to get it exactly right, spending additional time sourcing and fitting the right materials without charging extra. He was exceptionally polite and helpful throughout, clearly describing the various design options available at each point. He was highly punctual, and always responded to texts and calls quickly. He tidied up thoroughly at the end of the job, leaving it immaculate. I recommend him strongly, and will definitely be calling him again the next time I need a job done.
Very happy!
Marco was great – quick and easy to communicate with and did a fab job with my windows. They have been heavy, stuck shut, or constantly falling open/closed for years now and he made them perfect again – very happy!
A great job
I contacted a number of the larger companies on here with good reviews but found they would not complete small jobs. Marco was recommended by one of them. He did a great job fixing the window and was able to complete the work a few day’s after my initial enquiry. He arrived on time, worked quickly and tidied up after the job. He also charged a fair price which was as originally quoted. I would definitely recommend him and would use him again if needed.
