Case Study: Full Sash Window Restoration in Kneesall, Nottinghamshire
Brown’s Sash Windows Restorations was recently asked to carry out a full sash window restoration at a traditional farmhouse in the village of Kneesall, Nottinghamshire.
The homeowner wanted to preserve the original windows while improving comfort and performance throughout the farmhouse.
The Property
This beautiful farmhouse in Kneesall featured original timber sash windows that had served the property for many decades. Like many older rural properties, the windows showed several common issues:
-
cold draughts entering around the frames
-
windows that were difficult to open and close
-
rattling during windy weather
-
ageing seals and worn components
Rather than replace the original windows, the homeowner chose sympathetic restoration to bring them back to full working order.
Work carried out
Our approach focused on carefully restoring the existing sash windows while improving their performance and energy efficiency.
The work included:
-
restoring smooth operation of the sashes
-
repairing worn components where required
-
installing discreet draught proofing systems
-
ensuring each window was correctly balanced and operating smoothly
This type of restoration helps preserve the traditional appearance of the windows while dramatically improving comfort inside the property.
The Result
Once the work was completed, the farmhouse benefited from significantly improved window performance while retaining the charm of its original features.
The homeowner now enjoys:
-
reduced draughts throughout the house
-
quieter windows during windy conditions
-
smoother opening and closing
-
improved warmth and comfort
-
preservation of the farmhouse’s original sash windows
Full sash window restoration combined with draught proofing is often one of the most effective ways to upgrade period windows without replacing them.
