Heritage Window Repair

---

Do you have aging wooden windows that are sticking, rattling, or starting to rot? Our heritage window repair service is designed to restore your original windows and preserve the character of your home. Guilden Joinery provides expert heritage window repair in Letchworth, Royston, and surrounding areas – helping you fix issues with your period sash or casement windows without the need for full replacement. We understand the value of traditional windows in older properties and use time-honoured techniques to repair and refresh them.

Common window problems in heritage homes – such as rotten sill extensions, decaying frames, cracked glazing, or frayed sash cords – can all be addressed by our skilled joinery work. Daniel will carefully assess each window and determine the best repair approach. We can splice in new timber to replace rotten sections (using matching wood types like seasoned oak or pine), repair or replicate decorative mouldings, replace broken glass panes, and ease windows that have been painted shut or swollen with age. We also offer to retrofit draught seals or brush strips to improve energy efficiency while maintaining the window’s original appearance.

Our goal is to save you money and retain your home’s authenticity by repairing rather than replacing. For example, repairing a rotten window sill and frame section can start from around £150 per window, depending on the extent of the damage – typically far more cost-effective than installing new windows, especially for custom heritage styles. We ensure any new wood is primed and treated to protect against future rot, and we can finish the repair ready for painting or staining.

Don’t let drafty, damaged windows detract from your beautiful home. Contact us today for a free consultation on heritage window repair. Whether you have a single Victorian sash window in need of TLC or an entire cottage full of aging casement windows, we’re here to help restore them to their former glory. Let Guilden Joinery extend the life of your windows and keep your home’s historic charm intact.
