Frequent problems with older sash windows in Muswell Hill

Sash windows are amazing in how long they can last when you consider it. However, as sash windows get older, there are several issues that can afflict them. If you live in a period property you may encounter sash window problems like sticking frames, caused by decades of repainting which has spoiled the alignment, or warping.

The sash window weighting system may have lost balance or you get foggy glass. Their wooden frames may have started to rot leading to structural weakness. Draughts, too, can be an issue. Don’t worry though, every sash window has a solution and we will find it.
