See how Brown’s upgraded existing sash windows with slimline double glazing at a traditional farmhouse in Austerfield, South Yorkshire.
The homeowner wanted to preserve the original windows while improving comfort and performance throughout the farmhouse.
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.
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.
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.
