About 1808 sash windows

If you service your windows at the right time you can keep them not only working well and looking great, but you’ll add years to their life expectancy and safeguard the value of your home.

 

1808 Sash Windows carry out comprehensive window surveys, assessing the overall exterior condition inside and out and checking the working condition of the inner components you can’t see.  

We’ll let you know of any necessary repairs along with recommendations for restoration options and provide clear and detailed quotations. 

 

So what’s the difference between Repair and Restore – don’t they mean the same thing?

 

At 1808 Sash Windows here’s how we like to define the difference:

 

If something’s already broken or damaged, like a snapped cord or cracked glass, rotten timber, woodworm infestation or perished putty, then we would call that a ‘Repair’.

 

However if it’s not broken, it still works but just not a well as it could, for example, windows are stiff and start to feel awkward to open, they rattle, let in the cold or too much heat is lost then all of these things and more can be improved, and this we refer to as ‘Restoration’.

 

We correct or upgrade poorly working parts and mechanisms to restore your windows back to how they would have worked when new, only better than new due to significant advances in modern materials, tools and methods.

Despite these advances, all repair and restoration work is in keeping with the original design of the windows and character of your home.

 

From just one window or a single repair to a full restoration of all the windows in your property, 1808 Sash Windows can ensure your windows perform as they should.
