We deliver quality solutions to every timber windows restoration project and work with you and your unique property to achieve best-fit results. Our expert services cover all renovation needs, including:

• Decayed windows sills
• Rotten or compromised timber frames
• Damaged glass panes
• Stuck or out-of-balance sash windows sashes
• Broken or tired sash cords, springs, chains and pulleys
• Draughts and poor fit, leading to thermal inefficiency

Restoring rather than replacing wooden windows is often a cost-effective and sustainable way to retain your property’s architectural personality. 

We work with the unique characteristics of your property to accentuate the charm and reinstate quality. Our dedicated team of experts combine their wealth of experience and prioritises the respectful restoration of heritage charm. We embrace traditional methods alongside pioneering techniques and use the highest-quality, industry-leading materials to bring your property’s qualities to the fore whilst providing important modern comforts and advantages which may not have been available at the time of original installation!

We apply time-served knowledge, proven methods, and a passion for period wooden windows. As restoration professionals, we deliver high-end finishes and long-life improvements: providing a valuable return on investment and sustainability/ environmental benefits.

The Scott James team repair, replace, re-glazes, draught-proof and redecorate all types and aspects of wooden windows. We skillfully perform casement replacements, fit new glasses in your sashes and remove the decay from your bay.

Our repairs cover any aspect of window functionality and structural integrity, whether sash, sliding, casement or bay timber windows. If your windows are jammed or sticking, need pulley cord replacements, or need rotten or compromised wood replacing, we will be happy to help. To maximise the longevity of our efforts and your investment, where window timbers are damaged, we replace whole sections to avoid future cracking and weaknesses. For this, we use the revolutionary Accoya and Tricoya® timber ranges.

Wherever glazing repairs or upgrades are required, we use the exceptional vacuum-sealed units from Fineo. In most cases, we can install double-glazing to Grade II listed and similarly regulated properties. Owing to the thin profile of Fineo glass and our sensitive methods, the process does not detract from important original aesthetics and significant features, yet thermal efficiency and living conditions are greatly enhanced.

To extend these home comforts further still, our draught-proofing service can make wonderful improvements to the functionality of your windows – e.g. creating a rattle-free, smooth operating and snug fit – and bring additional thermal and acoustic benefits. It is a highly cost-effective way to enhance your interior spaces. We call it our “cosying service”.

And for the ultimate of finishing touches, our decoration experts are on standby to really bring things together with a high-grade, ultra-durable paint finish. Our finishes are quite exceptional and epitomise our ethos of fusing heritage, quality and modern living standards. The advanced paint technologies and our pioneering paint spray method give a thicker, smoother, harder-wearing and more beautiful finish than was achievable by the exclusive use of brushes and rollers.

We look forward to working with your property and contributing to the continued vitality of your wooden windows and their legacy. For a truly bespoke, premium wooden window restoration service: contact Scott James.
