New homeowners or those who want to redecorate their homes may consider replacing or restoring old windows to their original state. In Bristol, Nexus for Bath offer full window restoration service. They can restore existing windows and transform the home by displaying various types of stunning frames.

The window restoration process involves sanding and removing paint from the frames and sliding sash windows to be repaired and redecorated. Their work is done on-site but sash windows are removed and taken to the workshop to be restored. It is labor-intensive, especially if the sash window is in a state that requires major repairs. At times it may be more cost-effective to rather have new sashes than to repair sash boxes.

Some buildings are listed by the local authority for total window restoration and are not to be replaced as is common for historical buildings. Nexus for Bath offers the highest quality work by their trained team, who are knowledgeable in their field of expertise.

“The process of window restoration is combined with draught proofing for a complete change to repair all faults, rot, and decay using specialized joinery techniques,” said Bobby, Director, of Nexus of Bath, in Bristol.
Old windows for restoration in Bristol are skilfully removed from the window frame. Decayed timber, frame, or calls are moved around. New timber is used to join or replace areas of the frame where it isn’t possible to repair the timber. A special type of wood resin is used to fill cavities to meld and fit in with the existing shape of the window frame.

Usually, the sash cords are replaced and the pulleys are inspected and checked to ensure the weights are evenly balanced and work properly. To complete the restoration process, the windows and frames are decorated.
English heritage prefers window restoration rather than a replacement to preserve high-quality timber that has stood the test of time, some may have old-styled windows and the aim is to retain the look and experience a historical and vintage feel.

The sash windows should be inspected yearly and qualified professionals should inspect the whole house every four to five years. Old sash windows may have problems such as cracking of paintwork that starts to flake. The exterior of the windows should be repainted every five to eight years. If the windows stick it could result from the careless replacement of staff beads after the repair or recording has been done or from a build-up of paint.
Broken glass panes and spoiled putty can be easily replaced, old broken cords usually need to be remade, timber decay can be repaired with filler, and loose corner joints can be strengthened by corner brackets and painted over.
