Sash Window Repair & Restoration in Oldfield Park, Bath
Oldfield Park is Bath's densest Victorian neighbourhood — street after street of two-over-two terraced houses built for the railway and factory workers of the 1890s. We repair and draught proof original sash windows throughout the area, from Moorland Road to the avenues toward Twerton and the city.

Period windows in Oldfield Park
Oldfield Park's stock is wonderfully uniform: late Victorian and Edwardian two-over-two horned sashes in brick terraces with Bath stone lintels, most still with their original box frames. The uniformity is an advantage — we know these windows intimately, and repairs are quick, predictable and economical.
Hard use is the local story. Many houses have been in multiple occupation for decades, which means painted-shut sashes, snapped cords, missing beads and sills that have gone years without paint. None of this is terminal — it is exactly the maintenance backlog that a repair-first joiner clears in a day or two.
The area also has more than its share of 1990s uPVC. Where the original box frame survives, we can rebuild a matched timber sash and put the correct proportions back — often the cheapest way to lift a whole elevation.
Painted-shut and neglected sashes
Years of hard use seize the runs. We ease, re-cord and rebalance so every window opens again.
Snapped cords and missing beads
The most common Oldfield Park callout. New cords, beads and rebalanced weights restore full operation.
Sill rot on unpainted elevations
Sills that have gone years without paint rot at the horns. We splice matched timber and repaint in a breathable system.
Failed uPVC replacements
Plastic units in Victorian openings trap damp and look wrong. We rebuild in timber to the original profiles.

Conservation rules in Oldfield Park
Oldfield Park has conservation area coverage in its best-preserved streets, and Bath & North East Somerset Council has used Article 4 directions to control window replacements in parts of the area. In those streets, replacing timber sashes with uPVC normally needs planning permission.
Like-for-like repair and internal draught proofing need no consent anywhere in Oldfield Park. We confirm your street's designation at survey, and where an application is needed we prepare the drawings and specification for the council.
