Traditional sash and case windows are an important feature of many Stirling properties. Where the original windows remain repairable, restoration can retain their character while addressing common problems caused by age, weather and previous repairs.
Repair Rather Than Automatically Replace
Restoration starts with the condition of the existing window. Work may involve repairs to defective timber, attention to glazing and putty, easing operation and dealing with components that have deteriorated over time.
Glazing as Part of Restoration
Cracked panes, failed putty and unsuitable replacement glass can all affect a traditional window. Glazing work can be coordinated with joinery repairs so that the sash is treated as a complete assembly rather than as unrelated individual defects.
Maintaining Traditional Character
Our approach is intended to preserve serviceable original material where practical. This is particularly relevant to period properties where proportions, mouldings and traditional details contribute to the appearance of the building.
