Fitting a new sash window

Our fitting team are second to none in their skill, application and dedication even during the coldest winter months. Continually delivering the highest standards of work, with a smile on their face.

Some of you might recall the winter of 2010/2011, it was really tough. Our team fitted record volumes of windows in the worst of conditions, leaving our clients delighted.  Fortunately this winter has been somewhat easier  for them to date. So long as we give them the right equipment,  support and a warm uniform to work in, they will deliver. Not forgetting the obligatory “curry night” in the spring, as a thank you for their efforts.

So if you are considering having work done during these colder months, you don’t need to worry about fitting and the impact on your home, take the benefits our work will offer as soon as you can. Our fitters will be in an out minimum fuss and disruption, whatever the weather, and always with a smile on their faces!

The Sash Window Workshop – "delivering excellence at every opportunity.”

It has been almost two years of often “painful process”, but it is now in its final phase. It incorporates  new remote pricing software to replace our existing RAMPs pricing system, with associated customer management, manufacturing, stock and accounting modules which will allow us to operate from “quotation to invoice” through one system.

We hope that once bedded in it will be a huge step forward in efficiency and allow us to put down more stable roots for further growth.

Doors made by The Sash Window Workshop

Did you know that The Sash Window Workshop makes and installs well over £1m  per year of best quality, bespoke doors. Including front doors, french doors and sliding folding doors? It seems to be a bit of a secret we haven’t been telling people. Even some of our customers ask “do you do doors?”. We have definitely “missed a trick” somehwere and need to put things right,  as our doors are made to the highest standards and we believe they are simply the best available.

In response to popular demand, as from January 2012 we will be launching  new range of “Classic” doors. This range will include about 15 -20 different classic “London” front door designs, a range of simple but elegant french doors and some standard sliding folding designs. These "Classic" designs should suit most of our customers and will of course come measured, painted, glazed and fitted by our own fully employed fitting staff, all with The Sash Window Workshop’s outstanding customer service,  long term warranties and after sales service.

Of course if there isn’t a pattern that suits you, we will always tailor something to your exact specification, like we have been doing for the past 18 years, without telling anyone!

The Sash Window Workshop has been manufacturing the highest quality traditional timber windows since 1994 combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to produce a full range of A rated windows and doors. Our windows and doors are made to the highest standards with the best materials in all respects, and come fitted by our own employees. Our customers are delighted by the difference that our window services make to their homes.

As part of our environmental policy, we burn our “off cut” timber and the old windows and doors that we take out of our clients homes, to heat our factory and keep our loyal craftsmen warm during winter. We always  need a constant supply of timber.

To help keep us all warm this winter, any joinery order placed with us before January 1^st, 2012 can qualify for up to £200 part exchange allowance on each complete window replacement or £100 if part of our sliding sash replacement service

We are delighted to take this step as it wholly in keeping with our continued drive to make our business as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible.

Our client needed an elegant window solution for her home and ordered four Georgian patterns “A” rated traditionally hung box sash windows, made from Accoya. There are no box sash window suppliers in Sweden apparently.

Our client is delighted with her windows and we are very proud, hopefully we may teach the Swedes a thing or two about beautiful sash windows – could this be the start of something big?

If you fit one of The Sash Window Workshop’s Classic range of “A” rated traditional timber windows, you can achieve a "U" value of approximately 1.5 for the window (about the best on the market for thermal efficiency), which is a massive improvement. This not only saves energy, but radically improves comfort levels and moreover our windows are works of great “charm and beauty” made to the highest standards and designed to complement our clients homes. They also come with outstanding customer service and an industry leading warranty.

The Sash Window Workshop – delivering the best.

It really important that when buying windows people really do look at what they are getting for their money, we all know that quality costs, but generally delivers a return in the long term.

At The Sash Window Workshop we think it is even more important than ever to drive home the message to our clients that they need to look at several key factors when making a purchasing decision on traditional windows. They are,  quality of timber and window build,  aesthetic appearance (some traditional windows are simply not in keeping), warranties, quality of after sale service, fitting standards and the performance of the windows (our Classic range of windows are all  “A” rated) . It goes without saying that the financial stability of the company is also of paramount importance during these difficult times, just recently two of our competitors have ceased trading.

We would rather encourage our clients to buy little and often if budgets are tight and phase purchase over years than look for a substandard product elsewhere, that may not last or don’t look right. If anyone wants some free advice on traditional timber windows and what to look for, please contact us at info@sashwindow.com.

Installation Team - The Sash Window Workshop

Winter is coming and we’ve just issued all 15 Sash Window Workshop fitting staff their winter uniform to keep them warm.

It’s very important for us to look after them, last winter The Sash Window Workshop fitting team, fitted over £2.5m of windows through snow and ice and all the treacherous conditions nature threw at us, we only missed 3 confirmed installation dates for our customers, which we caught up very quickly. On some occasions we had to tow the vans to our client's homes!

We are hoping that this year won’t be so tough, but we are ready for it if it is.

Designed to add charm and character to period properties and meet the need of their discerning owners, the bespoke range of windows and doors includes a variety of styles including box sash windows, casement windows, bays and even ‘one off’ feature windows.
