Sash window specialists for Sunderland’s period properties
A lot of period properties in Sunderland still have their original box sash windows, often in poor working order. The city’s history is bound up with shipbuilding on the Wear, an industry that shaped both its street layout and its housing, so sash window specialists here need to understand both the mechanics and the look expected on these streets. Old Sunderland has some conservation coverage, though controls here are generally lighter than in nearby Newcastle, which is exactly the kind of area where sympathetic sash replacement or refurbishment matters most.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Sunderland? Often yes, but old Sunderland has some conservation coverage, though controls here are generally lighter than in nearby Newcastle, so slimline double-glazed units that replicate the original glazing bars are usually the way through rather than a standard modern sash.
Is it better to repair or replace old sash windows? If the timber frame itself is sound, draught-proofing and mechanism repairs are usually cheaper and can be enough. Full sash replacement makes more sense once the frame has rotted or the sash cords have failed repeatedly.
How long does sash window replacement take in Sunderland? A single sash window usually takes half a day including making good the surrounding plaster or woodwork, though full-house jobs on larger period properties take longer.
