How We DO it
All the work is carried out from the inside of the property, doing way with the need for expensive scaffold or access equipment. Once the area around the window is cleared and protective sheeting laid the work commences.
Sash Removal aNd Preparation
Each sash is carefully removed and inspected. Then each sash is prepared to receive a draught proof carrier and easy release sash cord grips. These two elements are then fixed to the window. Once the draught proof pile is inserted in the carriers the sash is ready to put back.
Weigh Removal, inspection and re-cording
Normally the opportunity to replace the sash cord is taken at this point. This entails the removal of the weights from the weight pockets, cleaning up and re-cording. The weight of the window is check against the existing weights and any adjustment made.
Sash RE-installation
With the sashes ready to go back in the windows are given a final clean. Then the outer sash is re-installed into it’s original positions. A new draught reducing bead is installed between the inner and outer sashes, which helps to reduce draughts, rattles and keeps the window moving smoothly. Then the inner sash is re-installed. Finally new internal beads, with built-in draught pile, are fixed into place.
