Sash window repair in Islington
People come to us about Draught Proofing in Islington once the cheap option has already failed. You will find mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and post-war infill in this area, and it moves as it ages. The weather does the rest: high pollution load and sheltered urban humidity here, and paint failure on south-facing sashes and rot at the bottom rail as the predictable result. The value is in sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate, not in the timber bill.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
One local point to factor in: large numbers of properties sit in conservation areas with like-for-like replacement conditions.

Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
