    Draught Sealing

    The gaps around the edges of a typical Sliding Sash Window, or indeed a Casement Window, can add up to the equivalent of a hole of around 150sq mm, or 6sq ins. Old windows often allow dirt, noise and draughts into your home, whilst expensive heat rushes out.

    The draught sealing system, combined with an overhaul, dramatically enhances window performance, giving new life and many years of additional service at a fraction of the cost of replacing the window.

    With over 20 years of experience in the industry, our attained knowledge allows us to combine traditional craftsmanship, with the latest technologies, allowing us to design and make only the finest sash windows around.

    By using craftsmen local to the area, we’re able to offer as swift and cost-effective a service as possible. We believe that this works to give our clients the peace of mind in knowing that their properties will be able to showcase traditional-looking windows but still be offered sufficient protection from harmful outside elements.

    THE IMPORTANCE OF SASH WINDOW REPAIR IN LONDON

    Sash (and Casement) windows first appeared in the UK during the latter end of the 17th century and as such, have become a part of our heritage and a symbol of a property that may be considered historic. As such, this explains one reason why many homeowners are keen to preserve the design of the property.

    For many, these historical features are probably the reason why they decided to purchase the property in the first place, so their interest in retaining the look of it will be a vested one – after all, with good repair and restoration, the property will grow in value if ever the owner wishes to sell. Other buildings, especially ones designated for public use, will be listed and therefore, the original character must be retained by law.

    Of course, many others plan on dwelling in the property in the long-term, so maintaining a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment will help to make their experiences a happy one.

    Due to the age of a building, a sash window installation can go for many years without regular maintenance, which will leave the frame liable to suffer from deterioration. Aside from taking away the attractiveness of the property, deterioration of a frame will also hinder the functionality of the window, making it difficult (or easy – especially from the outside!) to open, leaving the home free to suffer from adverse effects.

    Older windows will be installed within wooden frames and whilst hard-wearing and durable, they will deteriorate and rot if not treated – this is the main issue that many older homes experience. As such, this is why it is vitally important to regularly maintain sash windows installations.

    KELLYS SASH WINDOWS REPAIR SERVICE

    Being specialists in sash window repair, restoration and maintenance, we are able to offer a wide range of solutions to issues that your home may be experiencing. Ultimately, the overall benefits that our sash window repair service can bring include:

    No more draughts

    Once repaired, the small gaps in between your windows and the building itself will be non-existent; not giving any elements from the outside an opportunity to affect the temperature inside of the building.

    No more rattling

    With no gaps present, the window installation will be secure and there will be no room for it to produce that rattling sound that’s often associated with old, poorly maintained buildings.

    Improved soundproofing

    Repaired sash windows will be able to better provide a barrier for any sounds that may emanate from either inside or outside, of the building. This is ideal if you live in an area that may experience noise, or if you produce noise in the building yourself and don’t want to disturb your neighbours.

    Improved insulation and heat retention

    Thanks to the repair of the window, the frame especially, will help to keep heat, which is generated from the inside, from leaving the building.

    This condition management can work on the other side too – on those hot days outside, the heat will be kept out, whilst the cool conditions set in the building will be maintained.

    Drastically reduced dirt and dust

    No matter how tightly a window may be closed, any gaps in the installation will allow for dirt and dust to be swept in from the outside. Repairing the frames will dramatically cut down on the elements from the outside, being able to find their way in.

    Smoothly-operating windows

    Once repaired, sash windows will prove to be much easier to open from the inside. This ease of operation will no doubt be of great relief to many, who may have been struggling to open stiff, outdated windows that are fitted with mechanisms that just aren’t fit for modern day use.

    Extended window life

    By having your window fittings repaired, using modern tools and techniques, you are able to guarantee a much longer life for your traditional sash window installation.

    Improved security

    Aside from being able to install specialist types of glass that can be used for safety protection, all of our window installations will be fitted with modern locking technology. This will make these old, traditional-looking windows virtually impossible to force open from the outside by hand, once they’re locked.

    We combine traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology to make exquisite Sash Windows, providing elegance and an aesthetic touch which in turn adds value to your property.

    Many older window installations are reported to deteriorate to the extent where they cause rattling and rot to form and even lets in draughts.

    This happens due to many adverse effects such as weather, external damage or even as simple as ageing. When such materials exist on your property, then you should get yourself in touch with the experts.

    The need for an effective and professional draught sealing is mandatory, or else your home will be flooded with dust, dirt, wind and external noise. There is another way you would waste money on your heating and fuel consumption is when your home’s heath filters out through the hole which makes you uncomfortable and feels cold.

    We are also able to offer a complete overhaul and installation service

    Sash doors, and other exterior lighting tunnels, are both extremely practical and beautiful aspects of your home’s overall design. Thanks to their glass-heavy appearance, they allow a great deal of natural light to enter into an interior design and their intelligent design can provide a long-lasting and smooth service, if they are properly maintained.

    We understand that finding the time to properly take care of your sash portals can be extremely difficult, and that most homeowners are forced to make do with simply going over them with a wet sponge every now and again. Without the proper maintenance, traditional portals of these designs – just like anything else – will become unusable. As dirt and dust collects within the design itself, you may be unable to open the windows at all.
