Sash & Case Solutions

🌟 Another happy customer! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share this wonderful review from Christine.

🌟 🌟 We had twelve old sash and case windows in need of repair and refurbishment taken on by Daryl and his team. Their work ethic was excellent arriving each morning on time and cleaning up each day. They were respectful, polite and kept the mess to a minimum considering the work being done. The end result is of a high quality and we will be using them again for our downstairs windows later this year. 🌟 🌟

Thank you for your kind words! If you’re in need of window restoration, repair, or renovation, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to bring back the beauty and functionality of your windows.

Another successful project completed in the Marchmont area! 🌳

To the front of the property, we fully refurbished both the sashes and the case and upgraded the glass to slimtech heritage double glazing. To the back of the property, the windows were 6 over 6 so we opted to fully refurbish the cases whilst supplying and fitting new double glazed sashes.

🏡Before & After🏡

We took this job on to help a customer who had been let down by a builder she had employed to refurbish her windows.

As you can see the windows were left in a bit of a state but our expert joiners were able to bring them back to life. We correctly stripped the windows back and repaired any damage. The windows were then reinstated with new draught proofing beads and given three coats of paint.

This work not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home but will also add significant value to your property😃

It’s been a busy period for us recently as clients look to breathe new life into their home 🐣🌼

Installing draught-proofing is a regularly requested service to improve both the heat retaining efficiency & ease of movement in traditional sash windows; while also radically reducing external noise from passing motorists 🚗🤫

Industry leading draught-exclusion brush strips with new baton rods and parting beads are installed into windows after they have been routed out to take the appropriate gauge of draught pile. The lower sash window is routed along mid and bottom rails and fitted with 11.5mm gauge draught pile to complete the upgrade🪟✔️

Don’t let windows that won’t stay open when the sun’s out become a weight on your mind 🪟☀️

The functional beauty of Sash & Case windows lies in the inbuilt counter-balanced system that allows the window sashes to move freely & stay open at any height. That’s what the long, well aged metal tubes are for in the first picture. Sometimes this system can become unbalanced, causing the windows to fall to their resting position whenever opened, forcing us to use whatever’s around the house to wedge them open 📚

We can professionally repair any such nuisances in your home by carefully disassembling, weighing & installing new counter-weight in the window encasement. All in a timely manner with minimal inconvenience, returning beautiful free movement & stability to your windows once again 💫

Q: What is a common cause of a Sash cord failing?

A: It is often when excessive weight or force has been put on them. If the sashes are too heavy the cords simply cannot support them and if excessive forced is used such as when a window is slammed shut this can also cause cord failure. Don’t worry about this though it is still something that can be fixed.

A part of the renovation and refurbishment of a window is stripping the frames back to the bare wood.

This is a beautiful part of the process, removing layers of history to reveal beautiful wood with its texture and tone.

Timber Sash windows were developed in the Netherlands in the late 17th century with frames being constructed in a similar way to today.

Since then, timber windows have evolved with a variety of wood being used. Oak was the first choice however this has since been replaced with mahogany and imported soft woods are also popular often due to a lower cost.

Another window transformation!

We meticulously routered out the Sash window to allow the frame to accommodate sleek new double glazing once we had carefully removed the old single glazing.

Our skilled team used their expertise on this project ensuring a seamless fit for the new window.

The revamped window is a perfect example of how a window can have classic charm with modern efficiency.

Window transformation! One of our latest updates in the charming Newport on Tay, Fife.

The bathroom window previously featured outdated secondary glazing which made the space feel dull and less energy efficient.

This was replaced with brand new, like for like double glazing creating a more energy efficient space.

Q: How long should Sash & Case windows last?

A: Well over a century! If your windows are maintained well, once every few years it is completely realistic that they can last this long. Maintenance can include repairing any timber decay to stop it spreading into the rest of the frame and painting which helps to protect the frame from any external elements.

These pictures that we have recently discovered when working on windows show just how long they can last, we obviously don’t know the full story behind the writing found but we are guessing they had been marked when fitted/restored with the date. What we can make out one window says ‘Hutchison. August 1981. Warm day’ and the other says ‘Hutchison. July 1965. A cold day’.

We are always happy to answer any questions but just for a change we thought you might be interested to know the top 3 questions that we are regularly asked (apart from would you like a cup of tea?)

1 – Why are my Sash ropes failing or snapping? This is often due to an excessive weight or force
being used.

2 – Why are my Sash windows sticking? This is often as they have been painted shut.

3 – Why are my Sash windows drafty and rattling? There is more often then not more than one answer to this question but it could be due to loose glass panes, rotting wood, a loose sash or a window that needs weather-stripping.

We are always more than happy to answer any questions that you might have or to take a look at any problems.

Reviews like this make us so proud of what we do and the teams that work on each project.

“With this crazy wind raging outside, I can only give the highest kudos to the Fife team of the Sash and Case Solutions. Daryl and his team did a truly amazing job of restoring my historic windows. Not only do they look way better now, but the strongest wind is staying where it belongs, outside of my flat. I am very grateful as it will definitely mean that I'll be using less gas to keep the place habitable. If your sash and case windows need some extra TLC, I highly recommend these guys.” - Llona Biebel

Clients often mistakenly believe that the only solution when rot has taken hold is to completely replace their old sash and case windows.

In all but the most extreme cases this is simply not true.

Restoration is much simpler than you might expect and is far cheaper too.

It's a simple yet crucial step to maintain the longevity of your windows. Every morning, take a moment to wipe away condensation that may have accumulated overnight.

Why, you ask? Because the seemingly innocent build-up of condensation can sneakily wreak havoc on your windows over time. The moisture, if left unchecked, has the potential to cause damage to the pristine paintwork on your windows, leaving them vulnerable to the elements.

But that's not all if left condensation can be the silent instigator of wood rot and nobody wants that.

So, let's make it a daily habit – a small investment of time in the morning can preserve the beauty of your windows!

Ever wondered why some old buildings boast mysterious bricked-up windows? Old Window Tax!

Back in 1696, the British government introduced a clever revenue-generating strategy known as the Window Tax. The concept was simple: the more windows a property had, the higher the tax it incurred.

This tax wasn't just about counting windows; it became a game of architectural hide-and-seek! To avoid hefty fees, property owners started bricking up windows, leaving behind a unique historical footprint we still see today.

So, why did they do it? Aside from saving on taxes, bricking up windows provided insulation, security, and privacy during a time when glass was a luxury.

As a result, many historic buildings bear the intriguing scars of this tax-driven architectural adaptation. The next time you stroll past a building with sealed windows, you're witnessing a tangible piece of tax history!

Have you noticed that your windows rattle or that you can feel a draft through them?

These are signs that your windows aren’t as efficient as they could be, costing you more money to heat your home.

Here are some tips to improve the efficiency of your windows.

Curtains - lined thermal curtains can improve the heat loss through your windows by 25% or if you would rather stay sympathetic to the original style, wooden shutters are a great touch.

Draft proofing - drafts from your window can often be the result of the original sand mastic that connects the outside facings to the stonework becoming loose or worn away. This can cause serious problems to the integrity of your windows and let draughts into your home.

Renovate your frames - if your frames are damaged there is the opportunity for drafts to seep through. Renovating your frames will cut this out. If your frames are too damaged then you may need to replace them..

Double glazing - upgrade your glass from single glazing to double glazing. We use a heritage glass that is sympathetic to the historical features of your window, slightly thinner than standard double glazing to fit your frames.

During the process windows will be replaced each evening to ensure minimal disruption to your home.

Don’t just take our word for it, Llona from Fife summed it up perfectly “Not only do my windows look way better now, but the strongest of wind is staying where it belongs, outside of my flat”
