Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of restoring sash windows?

Having sash windows restored compared to the alternatives offers many advantages. It allows you to retain the character of your home or building, and is often less expensive than full replacement – all while maintaining the original look and feel.

Do I need planning permission to have my sash windows restored?

Sash window restoration falls under permitted development, categorised as basic maintenance. If your property is listed, planning permission is often required. Properties in conservation areas may also need permission, though this generally isn’t the case in the Southwell/Newark conservation area. We’re experienced in working within council guidelines and happy to advise.

How much does sash restoration and repair cost?

If original windows are in relatively good condition, it’s fair to expect an overhaul and draught proof to cost in the region of £800 per window. In some cases external repairs are required such as sills or a new replacement sash that’s rotted away which can add to the cost.

How far outside of Retford do you offer your services?
