Sash window specialists for York’s period properties
If you’re dealing with draughty, hard-to-open sash windows in York, you’re not alone. The River Ouse is prone to periodic flooding, which is a more relevant local factor for ground-floor properties than wind or salt exposure, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss. York’s city centre is a genuinely rare mix of medieval, Georgian and Victorian buildings within its historic walls, with more conventional suburbs beyond them, and a lot of those original sash boxes are now decades past their expected working life.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in York? Often yes, but most of the city centre falls within conservation area or listed building controls, among the strictest in the country outside London, 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 York? 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.
