If your sash windows are draughty, difficult to open or showing signs of wear, restoration is often the best solution.
In many cases, original sash windows can be fully restored rather than replaced, maintaining the character of the property while making them easier to use and more comfortable.

Retford has many beautiful Victorian, Edwardian and traditional homes that still retain their original sash windows. These windows are an important architectural feature and deserve careful restoration rather than unnecessary replacement. At Brown’s, we specialise in sympathetic repairs that maintain the traditional appearance of your property while improving performance and reliability.
Many homeowners assume replacement is the only option. In reality, most timber sash windows can be restored.
Restoration allows you to:
retain original features
improve window operation
reduce draughts
extend the life of the windows
This is particularly important in period properties where original windows add to the overall value and appearance of the home.
At Browns, we carry out full restoration work on traditional timber sash windows.
Our services include:
full sash window restoration
sash cord replacement
timber repairs using specialist systems such as Repair Care
draught proofing installation
balancing and servicing windows
All work is carried out with care to preserve the original look of the window while improving how it performs.
Draughts are one of the most common issues with older sash windows.
We install discreet draught proofing systems that:
reduce cold air entering the property
improve comfort
eliminate rattling in windy conditions
maintain the traditional appearance of the window
This is often one of the most effective upgrades homeowners can make.
