FAQs — Boroondara

Can you just replace the sash cords?
Yes. We re-rope, rebalance and service pulleys so sashes travel smoothly and stay open.

Will repairs change how my windows look?
No. We match profiles and sightlines so everything reads “original — just renewed.”

Do you work with heritage restrictions?
Yes. We use conservation-minded methods and provide sensible guidance if approvals are needed.

Can you add double glazing to heritage sashes?
Sometimes. If the sash can carry the unit safely, we use slimline IGUs and re-balance weights. If not, we may recommend a like-for-like replica.
