Sash windows
Sash window repair on the Sunshine Coast.
Rotted rails, dropped sashes and perished putty — repaired in place so you keep the original timber, the original profile and the character of the window.

Bottom rails and sills that stay wet
The bottom rail and sill take the run-off, so they rot first. Re-pitching the sill is usually what stops it coming back.
Sashes that stick or drop
Swollen timber, painted-shut channels and snapped cords all stop a sash running. Servicing beats replacing the window.
Loose, rattling glass
Once putty perishes, water gets behind the glass and into the rebate — the start of rot you can't see from outside.
How we repair a sash window
Step 1
On-site assessment
We check the sashes, sill, jambs and parting beads for soft timber, then sound out how far the rot has travelled behind the paint.
Step 2
Cut back and rebuild
Perished sections are cut back to sound timber, treated, and rebuilt to the original profile so the sash keeps its shape and weight.
Step 3
Cords, pulleys and balance
Broken sash cords are replaced, pulleys serviced and weights re-balanced so the sash holds where you leave it.
Step 4
Glazing and seal
Perished putty is raked out, glass re-bedded and beads renewed, then everything is primed and undercoated ready for topcoat.
Most sash repairs are finished in 1 - 4 days on site. See before and after photos of recent work, or browse our full restoration services.
