When the spring and summer months arrive, it is time to throw open your windows to let the sunshine and fresh air in. If you have original timber sashes, you should give them a springtime check so you know they will work properly when it gets hotter. As experts on these windows, we recommend a series of checks to keep them in shape.

Are the windows functional?

Firstly, there is the functionality check. For your windows, the most important thing is to ensure they open and close properly. Have a look and see if they slide easily and smoothly. Look at the sash weights, pulleys, and cords. Move your window up to see if the opening mechanism functions.

Your sash window might be sticking or not opening correctly. If you are in one of these situations, you may want to do some repairs. Preferably, you should perform these during the warmer months. The longer you leave the work, the more it will cost you later on. We can deliver rapid services if you need us.

Are the windows weatherproof?

You also need to do some weatherproofing checks. Windows should keep you safe from the elements. As a result, they must have what it takes to stand up to the British weather. Sadly this is quite a wet country, even in summer. Because they are timber, the sashes are vulnerable. You need to plan for this.

Whenever the wood absorbs moisture, whether it is from the air or rain, it will expand. This causes sashes to become sticky and more difficult to slide. Without enough protection, the contraction and expansion can cause paint to crack. In turn, this shall allow more moisture to get into the timber and make everything worse. This is why you need to check your window frames and sills. You should also be proactive with maintaining the protective coating.
