Our sash windows services in Bury St. Edmunds

Reglazing original sashes

We took precise measurements in order to purchase new vacuum-insulated units.
We will carry out any necessary timber repairs to strengthen the sashes.
The sashes are being altered to accommodate the change from single-glazed glass panes to double-glazed ones.
Counter-balancing heavier double-glazed units with extra lead sash weights fitted to the box frame.
We install double-glazed window panes into your original sashes and then reinstall them back into the box frame.

Soundproofing

Traffic noise not only makes it hard to concentrate and get a good night’s sleep, but research has shown that it also causes heart disease and high blood pressure.

Reglazing your single-glazed windows is an excellent way to reduce traffic noise pollution.

Timber frames restoration

Rotting wood in the sills, box frames, pulley stiles, mouldings and sashes is quite common.

Our team frequently repair the window frame with high-quality rot-proofed timber by performing a wood splice repair and timber frame lamination.

Draught-proofing

All required machining is completed on the sashes, which are carefully removed from the box frame.
Servicing the pulley wheels and removing any paint that is restricting movement. This will keep your sashes functioning smoothly.
Sash windows are made up of multiple parts that occasionally need to be replaced, such as the staff and parting beads. These should come with new draft-proofing seals to improve insulation.
All sashes will have brush draft seals installed.

To renew the quality of your property and comfort of living, our experienced team prioritise preserving and emphasising the charm of your wooden window whilst skilfully integrating the benefits of modern glazing into existing frames.

Highest-grade materials & contemporary restoration methods

To achieve our industry-leading results, we use only the highest-grade materials and integrate them using traditional and contemporary methods (wherever most appropriate).

This is part of the Scott James approach: we deliver maximum benefits and modern comforts using pioneering technology and materials whilst being uncompromising in our attention to detail and unfaltering in highlighting original characteristics.

Durable timber frame restoration

At the repair stages, any damaged timbers are replaced in complete sections of Accoya timber and vulnerable areas are further protected with Tricoya panelling and veneers.

These modern timber products are incredibly hard-wearing and, thanks to modern technology, have incredible properties such as minimum swell and warp.

High-energy performance glazing

For upgrading your windows and your home’s living conditions, Fineo glass is another example of how we harmoniously incorporate modern materials into traditional windows.

At only under 7 mm thick (compared to a standard 18mm+), Fineo double-glazing provides unprecedented opportunities to upgrade the glazing in existing timber frames without altering the aesthetics.

Our experts reinstate quality and modern upgrades to feature windows whilst meticulously preserving original architectural charisma in every detail.
