What you get from a proper sash window
Smooth sliding action
A well-made sash should move cleanly, without having to struggle.
Details that suit the house
Glazing bars, rails and proportions are planned to sit comfortably in the opening.
One joined-up job
Making and fitting stay with one team, which keeps the finish and fit consistent.
Traditional sash windows that work as they should
A tired sash window can spoil a whole room. When the proportions are wrong, the glazing bars feel heavy or the sashes stick, you notice it every day. We make traditional timber sash windows in our own workshop, shaping the opening arrangement, glazing layout and timber details to suit the property rather than forcing a standard unit into place. With Blair Joinery Ltd, you are dealing with a team that understands sash and case work, so the finished window is built for smooth movement, secure closure, weather resistance and a look that sits properly in the elevation.
From accurate sizes to careful fitting
The practical side matters just as much as the appearance. We start by talking through the style you want, then take accurate measurements so the new sash fits the opening cleanly. From there, we move the work into manufacture, keeping control over the proportions and finish before fitting at your property. Working with us means the people planning the joinery also understand how it needs to go in on site, which helps avoid the sort of awkward surprises that make a simple window job drag on.
Frequently asked questions
How do we match the look of existing sash windows?
We study the sash proportions, glazing pattern, meeting rails and other visible details before we start making anything. If several windows are being replaced, we can coordinate them so the elevation looks settled rather than a patchwork of near misses.
Will new sash windows still feel traditional to use?
Yes, if the window is made and fitted properly. We plan the sash arrangement, hardware and fit so the window opens with far less fuss than a worn original, then closes firmly against the frame with a finish that still feels right for the property.
What happens during fitting day?
We prepare or clear the opening, position the new frame accurately, secure it, seal around the perimeter and check the sashes for smooth travel and proper closure. We also go over the finished window so you are not left wrestling with it after we have gone.
