This large central sash was in need of a service to get it working perfectly. As part of the service, we made sure the sash chains were moving smoothly. If sashes are hung on cords, we replace the existing ones with our long life cords. We made sure the meeting rail between the two sashes fit perfectly together, added Brighton catches to ensure no gaps where drafts might get through. Finally, we replaced the existing parting and staff beading with a beading that has pile machined into it. The pile acts as a draft excluder as well has significantly reducing outside noise.

This particular sash needed a bit of extra work in the form of a plank A repair in Accoya.

Once refitted, the window kept more noise out, retained more heat and despite being about 40kgs, could be opened with a single finger.
