Ironmongery is the fixtures and fittings on a sash window — the pulleys, lifts, fasteners, stops and locks you use every day. We don't refurbish old fittings. Where pieces are worn, broken or missing, or where you'd simply prefer to start fresh, we supply and install brand-new ironmongery as part of your restoration.
Choice matters. Whatever you pick should sit comfortably with the period of the property — visible enough to complement the window, never so loud it competes with it. Our partnerships with local blacksmiths and heritage suppliers give a broad selection of styles and finishes, from cast iron and aged bronze through to polished brass and brushed steel.
What we can replace
If you'd like new ironmongery on your windows, we can supply and fit any of the following:
- Sash lifts — hook and curved styles, brass, bronze or iron
- Sash fasteners — Brighton, Fitch and claw fasteners for the meeting rails
- Sash locks — keyed locks, push locks and screw-in restrictors
- Sash stops & restrictors — for child safety and limited ventilation
- Sash eyes & ring pulls — for opening the upper sash with a pole
- Pulley wheels & faceplates — supplied when the originals are beyond reuse
- Window handles — for casements and top-lights
- Hinges — where the window has casement or top-light openings
- Cord cleats & tie-offs — for windows on draw cords
Period-appropriate or contemporary, like-for-like where pieces have been lost. Brochures are available on request and our estimators are on hand to advise on the right pieces for your property.
