Sash window specialists for Bristol’s period properties
A lot of period properties in Bristol still have their original box sash windows, often in poor working order. Bristol’s hillside terraces, especially around Clifton, are known for their Georgian proportions and, in some streets, famously colourful frontages, and a lot of those original sash boxes are now decades past their expected working life. The South West coastal climate is milder than most of England but noticeably wetter, so damp and swelling in older timber frames is a common issue, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Bristol? Often yes, but clifton and Redland have extensive conservation area coverage, meaning window replacements often need to match the original glazing pattern, so slimline double-glazed units that replicate the original glazing bars are usually the way through rather than a standard modern sash.
Is it better to repair or replace old sash windows? If the timber frame itself is sound, draught-proofing and mechanism repairs are usually cheaper and can be enough. Full sash replacement makes more sense once the frame has rotted or the sash cords have failed repeatedly.
How long does sash window replacement take in Bristol? A single sash window usually takes half a day including making good the surrounding plaster or woodwork, though full-house jobs on larger period properties take longer.
