Restoring original sash windows properly — not replacing them.
I’m Jim, a specialist in traditional sash windows based in Eastbourne.
For years I’ve been helping homeowners repair, restore and understand their windows
keeping their character, improving comfort, and avoiding unnecessary replacement.
A Proper Approach to Sash Windows
Most sash windows don’t need replacing.
They need understanding.
Whether it’s broken cords, sticking sashess, rattling frames or cold draughts,
the solution is usually careful repair — done properly, with respect for the original window.
That’s what I do.
Careful, practical repairs to get your windows working smoothly again.
Eliminate rattles and cold air while keeping the window fully functional.
Traditional cord replacement using proper methods and materials.
Targeted repairs to sills and frames — avoiding unnecessary replacement.
I’ve worked on hundreds of sash windows and documented much of it on my YouTube channel.
I work locally in Eastbourne and nearby areas.
