Hardwood repairs: Next, we addressed the frame
structure. This involved installing a new trenched sill and
replacing pulley stiles as part of the restoration process.

Axle pulleys and weight adjustment: The original axle
pulleys were no longer fit for purpose. To accommodate
the additional weight of double glazing, we added new
timber, half-housed into the frame, for structural support.
Minor repairs and finishing: For smaller repairs, we used
Repair Care Epoxy Resin. Once these repairs were
completed, the frames were sanded smooth, ready for
painting.
Painting and sealing: The box frames were hand-painted
with two coats of primer and three topcoats, ensuring
both a high-quality finish and long-term protection.
Fitting new sashes: Finally, the new sliding sashes were
hung using cords and weights, and the windows were draft
proofed using methods approved by English Heritage.
