Do you handle cord-only work?

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

Will repairs change the period look?

Our conservation-led approach preserves profiles and sightlines.

Is slimline double glazing available for my sashes?

Where the sash can safely carry the weight, yes—we re-balance weights and retain sightlines. Otherwise a like-for-like replica may be recommended.

Do you advise on heritage permissions?

Yes—repairs are often maintenance; glazing changes or full replacements may need permission. We’ll outline the likely route for Stonnington addresses.
