Chigwell’s Victorian and Edwardian homes are celebrated for their architectural grace, but ageing sash windows often struggle with drafts, decay, and inefficiency.
Original sash windows are a defining feature of Chigwell’s period homes, yet age and weathering often leave them draughty and inefficient.
Our restoration service revitalises these architectural treasures, blending traditional craftsmanship with energy-saving solutions tailored to Essex’s climate and conservation requirements.
Rotting timber frames or sills caused by age or damp
Heat loss through single-glazed panes leaving rooms chilly
Draughty gaps around sashes and meeting rails
Noise intrusion from loose fittings or worn seals
Misted glass due to failed seals or degraded putty
If your wooden windows are suffering from peeling paint, rot, or cold drafts, restoring them can rejuvenate their charm and improve thermal efficiency. Our professional restoration services ensure your period windows retain their heritage appeal while enhancing comfort.
Repair rather than replace using epoxy consolidation for minor decay or Accoya® wood grafts for structural repairs. Ideal for maintaining original joinery details in Edwardian and Victorian homes.
Performance-focused draught elimination
Install compression seals along meeting rails and silicone gaskets in sash runs, reducing heat loss by 25%* without altering window proportions.
Listed-building-compliant upgrades
Incorporate ultra-slim double glazing (as thin as 14mm) or vacuum glazing (6.5mm) to meet conservation area regulations while improving insulation.
Add low-e coatings to reduce UV damage without altering aesthetics.
Structural integrity repairs
Stabilise rotting sills with epoxy resin or timber splicing.
Reinforce frames using hidden steel brackets or traditional scarf joints.
Mechanical overhauls
Replace worn sash cords with durable nylon/PBWE blends.
Rebalance weights for heavier double-glazed sashes.
Climate-responsive finishes
Apply breathable linseed-based primers and microporous paints.
Restore glazing bars with historically accurate putty techniques.
Acoustic & thermal upgrades
Install laminated acoustic glass for homes near main roads.
