Do you replace cords on their own?

Yes. We re rope, re balance and service pulleys so sashes move freely and stay open.

Will the work change the look?

Our conservation first approach preserves profiles and sightlines so the windows look original.

Is slimline double glazing possible near the coast?

Often yes. If the sash can carry the extra weight we re balance the system and keep the visual lines consistent. If not we may suggest a like for like replica.
