Why choose Sash Restorer

  • Repair, not replace.

    Original windows can almost always be saved. We keep as much of the old timber, glass and detail as possible.

  • Listed and heritage specialist.

    Materials and methods suitable for listed buildings and conservation areas.

  • Clear, fixed-price quotes.

    A written quote for the work set out, and the price won’t go up if the job takes longer than planned.

Questions

Do you work on listed buildings?
