Full Sash Window Restoration Surveys in Cheltenham
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.

Tell us about your windows and we will arrange a no-obligation survey, usually within five working days.
When a full survey is worth it
- You have just bought a Regency 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 Cheltenham Article 4 conservation area
- You are reversing earlier uPVC or hardwood replacements
How the survey works
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.
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.
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 Cheltenham Borough Council.
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.
