Waterloo is an area rich in history and famed for its iconic landmarks along the Thames, combines modern city life with pockets of historic architecture. Among the bustling streets and diverse neighbourhoods surrounding Waterloo Station, many properties retain beautiful period features like original sash windows and classic wooden doors. These elements not only add character but are integral to preserving the unique charm of the area. Our team specialises in sash window and wooden door restoration and repair services designed to maintain and enhance these historic features in Waterloo’s homes.
With extensive experience working with traditional properties in Waterloo, we understand the attention and craftsmanship required to restore and maintain sash windows and wooden doors. Sash windows, often central to the elegance of historic properties in the area, may face common issues like draughts, sticking sashes, and worn cords over time. Our process begins with a detailed inspection to identify any issues and create a bespoke repair plan that respects the original design while enhancing the window’s functionality.
For minor repairs, we handle tasks such as re-cording, tightening frames, and realigning sashes to ensure smooth operation. When a window requires more extensive restoration, we replace worn or damaged components with carefully crafted replicas that match the original materials, preserving the historic integrity of each sash window while improving its durability. Our approach allows your home to retain its period charm while offering practical upgrades for everyday comfort.
We also offer discreet draught-proofing solutions to make older properties more energy-efficient without compromising their character. Our draught-proofing services help to reduce heat loss and prevent cold air from entering, ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable while preserving the classic look of your sash windows and doors.
