Glass Upgrades

It is a common misconception that historic windows need to be replaced because they're 'worn out'. This is often incorrect and could lead to inappropriate adaptation.

The condition of the timber casements and sashes can be greatly improved with thorough painting, regular cleaning and prompt repairs to moisture penetration (wet rot). Wet rot is easily identified by the appearance of the paintwork, which is cracked and wavy, along with the wood underneath being softened. You can repair this by slicing new sections of timber into the existing profiles. This work should only be carried out by a company that specialises in timber preservation.

It is also worth looking into whether the glass is saved. Modern float glass can be used without affecting the appearance of historic windows and would not usually require listed building consent.

Metals, like wrought-iron and steel are malleable. Therefore, minor distortions can be corrected without having to remove the window.
