Alongside having financial and aesthetic benefits, restoring your sash windows can also add a layer of security to your London home. Rotting timber in sash windows and general wear and tear can leave them structurally vulnerable.

This means they can be more easily broken into via impact, making the property more open to breaking and entry. By restoring the rotting timber in the frame, this risk is lessened.
