Heritage joinery across Bath & North East Somerset

Full Sash Window Restoration Surveys in Bath

Before any joinery starts we survey the whole house. Every sash is opened, tested and probed, and you receive a written window-by-window schedule showing exactly what needs repair, what needs draught proofing or reglazing, and what it will cost — so restoration can be phased over one visit or several years.

No obligation. We only use your details to arrange your Bath sash window survey.

When a full survey is worth it

  • You have just bought a Georgian or Victorian house and need a condition baseline
  • Several windows are sticking, rattling or dropping at once
  • A surveyor's report flagged 'timber decay to windows' without detail
  • You need costed options to phase restoration over a few years
  • Your property is listed or inside a Bath Article 4 conservation area
  • You are reversing earlier uPVC or hardwood replacements

How the survey works

  1. Step 1

    1. Whole-house inspection

    We work room by room, opening every sash, testing cords and weights and probing sills, bottom rails and parting beads for hidden decay.

  2. Step 2

    2. Window-by-window schedule

    Each opening is recorded with its faults, glazing type, ironmongery and the specific repair needed — no generic line items.

  3. Step 3

    3. Heritage and consent check

    We confirm listing and conservation area status and set out which works are permitted and which need consent from Bath & North East Somerset Council.

  4. Step 4

    4. Costed, phased proposal

    You get a fixed written quotation, split into priority repairs and optional upgrades such as draught proofing or slimline glazing, so work can be staged.

What you get in writing

  • A schedule of every window with its condition and recommended works
  • Clear separation of essential repair from optional upgrade
  • Timber species and moulding profiles matched to the original joinery
  • Guidance on paint systems and maintenance intervals
  • Fixed pricing with a 10-year guarantee on completed joinery
  • Supporting specification for listed building or Article 4 applications

We work throughout Royal Crescent, The Circus, Widcombe, Lansdown, Bathwick and the wider Bath conservation areas. See the full range of sash window repairs in Bath.
