Sash Window Advice and Guides

This blog shares practical advice and guidance on caring for traditional timber sash windows, with a focus on properties in Clevedon and the surrounding areas. Our articles cover common sash window issues such as timber decay, draughts, sticking sashes, worn cords, and general maintenance, as well as options for repair, refurbishment, and upgrading sash windows using modern materials.

Many period and traditional homes still rely on original timber sash windows, and understanding how they work is key to keeping them functioning properly. Through these guides, we aim to explain how sash windows can often be repaired rather than replaced, what signs to look out for when maintenance is needed, and how improvements such as draught proofing or replacement sashes can enhance comfort while retaining a traditional appearance.

The information here is intended to help homeowners make informed decisions about their sash windows, whether they are planning repairs, considering upgrades, or simply want to understand their windows better. Where appropriate, articles may also reference local property types and conditions commonly found in Clevedon, Backwell, Nailsea, Portishead Old Town, Yatton, and Long Ashton.
