These 2 pairs of Georgian sashes needed a lot of love to get them back to perfect order.The main problem with them was that their bed putty had been built up with multiple layers over the years.Over time each time the glass broke it would be replaced with new bedding putty applied on top of the old bedding putty.This meant there wasn’t enough space for the external face putty to go meaning there was enough of a wedge .To fix this all the glass need to be carefully removed and the all the bed putty needed to be chiselled out before reglazing could begin.The sashes were also fully paint striped and all the mortise and tenon joints re-glued along with minor Accoya repairs.

This is an old Magnet window (stormproof) the orginal sill was made in softwood and the exposed part of the wooden sill had rotted.Instead of re- mortising and tenoning a new Accoya sill into the existing , another way is to simply plant on with glue an extended sill.The trick here and is essential is to make an exact 90 degree cut in both directions and to make sure the long gluing surface is also finished exactly 100% flat too so as to make a perfect gluing surface .This is easily achieved by spending a few minutes making a basic template first and the use of razor sharp Sheffield still paring chisel to finish it off.
