1.

How do I know if my windows need restoration?

Signs include difficult operation, drafts, condensation between panes, visible decay, or rattling. Even subtle issues like stuck sashes or flaking paint can indicate deeper problems that will worsen if untreated. I offer thorough assessments to identify concerns before they become costly replacements.

3.

How long does restoration typically take?

Restoration times vary depending on the size of the window... and the weather! Typically a small window takes two to three days, a medium sized window between three to four days and a larger (3 meter) window four to five days.

5.

How will restoration affect energy efficiency?

Properly restored windows can dramatically improve thermal performance without compromising historical authenticity. I use discrete draft-proofing techniques, can install slim-profile secondary glazing where appropriate, and ensure tight-fitting components that enhance energy efficiency while maintaining period aesthetics.

2.

What's involved in your initial assessment?

I'll examine your windows or doors in detail, checking for structural integrity, rot, operational issues, and historical authenticity. I'll give you genuine, honest advice, and when you hire me, expert joinery services that will enhance your home.

4.

What areas of the country will you travel to?

I know that skilled craftsmen are hard to find, especially when it comes to working with historically graded buildings. While I'm based in Spalding in South Lincolnshire, I've travelled extensively to restore properties across Lincolnshire and adjoining counties like Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. If you'd to know if I can travel to you, please contact me at AJ Historical Joiner by calling 0790 234 1133.

6.

What maintenance will be required afterwards?

You might expect craftsman quality wooden windows to require significant maintenance- but you'd be wrong! Regularly using the window to keep the mechanism moving, plus repainting every five years (or sooner if the paint gets damaged) is all that is needed!
