Renew Broken Sash Cords
I have been renewing a lot of sash cords lately. It's a simple process that doesn't need a lot of special tools. In fact in some instances you can get away with using just a hammer and chisel.
There is nothing to be afraid of. The genius of the design of sash windows is that they are infinitely repairable - and with simple tools.
For some reason there has been a spate of clients only wanting the bottom sashes re-corded. To my mind it's false economy because when re-cording the bottom sash, the window is in bits anyway - and it would seem prudent to get both sashes working. But it's suprising to find that many clients don't even realise that both sashes can work. The greatest secret of sash windows is that they can provide the very best ventilation configuration of any window type. Fresh cooler air comes in at the bottom and stale hotter air exits at the top. It works because it obeys the law of physics. No great secret.
If you need a sash window repair - give me a call on 07930 335 937 or use the email link in the right hand side bar.
