Sash Window Replacement in Clapham, South London
Sash Window Refurbishments in Clapham, South London
Our Carpenters have just refurbished several sash windows in an old school which now has been converted to flats.
On another project, we replaced the whole box/sash of the window as it was rotten. Once the new box sash was fitted, we installed new sash cord, prepared and repainted the woodwork with undercoat and gloss. Nowadays, as money is tight, more and more people opt for refurbishing existing wooden windows instead of replacing them with new modern plastic windows. Some areas in London are conservation areas and the local councils insist on keeping them as close to original as possible. In most cases this option is more feasible, however not all times. Sometimes it is nicer to the eye to keep the original features and regardless that the plastic windows are very versatile these days, there are occasions when the wooden windows fit in more with the style of the property.
On the other hand, newly installed plastic windows are more environmentally friendly and it can save you more money throughout the years on your gas and/or electricity bills. Always bear that in mind to get your plastic windows fitted with a FENSA registered fitter, especially if you are thinking selling your property in the future as you will need to show proof of purchase and installation. You can lose money on your property if the window installation is not done by a FENSA registered supplier/fitter.
