Sash Windows Marylebone
Mortice & Green provides specialist services for sash windows in Marylebone, from repairing individual mechanisms to restoring original joinery and manufacturing bespoke replacements. Established in 1994, our independent, family-run company brings together experienced restorative joiners and wooden window specialists. We work with sash and casement windows, offering homeowners a single team for repairs, renovation, manufacture and installation. Our recommendations reflect the condition of the windows and the improvements you want to achieve.
Some projects begin with an immediate problem, such as a broken cord or a sash that will not close. Others involve a broader review of deteriorating timber, draughts or windows that have lost their original detailing. We examine the relevant components and explain the available options, including where existing joinery can be retained. For replacement work, we manufacture reproduction hardwood windows designed around the property’s proportions and architectural style. Throughout our service, the emphasis remains on appropriate workmanship, clearly explained specifications and advice based on what is required.
Our Sash Window Services In Marylebone
A window’s frame, sliding sashes, glazing and operating mechanisms each contribute to its performance. Our services address these components separately or together, depending on the scope of the project.
Sash Window Repairs In Marylebone
Our repair service addresses faults that prevent wooden sash windows from opening, closing or securing correctly. These can include snapped cords, worn pulley wheels, damaged catches and localised deterioration in the joinery. We investigate the underlying problem before recommending which components need attention.
A targeted repair can often resolve an operational fault without replacing the entire window. Where further defects are identified, we explain their significance and whether they should be addressed alongside the immediate repair. This gives you a clear understanding of the proposed work and helps distinguish an isolated issue from a window that would benefit from more extensive renovation.
Sash Window Renovation In Marylebone
Repeated repairs may not be enough when several elements of a window have become worn. Renovation provides a coordinated approach, bringing the operating mechanism, retaining beads and draught seals into consideration together.
The specification may include new sash cords, rebalancing, replacement hardware and replica timber staff and parting beads. Brush-pile draught proofing can be fitted within the beads to reduce air leakage and rattling while allowing the sashes to slide. Internal and external redecoration can also be discussed. We define the work around the window’s condition, with the aim of improving its usability and presentation while retaining suitable existing joinery.
Sash Window Restoration In Marylebone
Restoration is particularly relevant where original windows retain architectural details that deserve careful preservation. Our joiners assess the timber, construction and previous repairs to determine how the window can be brought back into service without unnecessarily removing original material.
The work may involve repairing damaged sections, renewing components that can no longer function reliably and recovering details affected by deterioration or earlier alterations. Attention to profiles and proportions helps maintain consistency with the building. Where complete retention is impractical, we explain which elements need replacing and how the proposed work can respect the character of the original window.
Replacement Wood Windows In Marylebone
Replacement may be appropriate where deterioration is extensive or an existing window is unsuitable for the property. Mortice & Green manufactures wooden sash and casement windows, allowing the design to respond to the opening and the surrounding architecture.
We review the arrangement of panes, frame proportions and relationship with adjacent windows before developing the specification. This is especially useful where earlier replacements have introduced inconsistent detailing. Our service includes manufacture and fitting, providing continuity between the design you approve and the joinery installed. We also explain whether the project requires a complete replacement or whether any existing elements remain suitable for use.
Bespoke Sash Windows In Marylebone
Bespoke manufacture allows the dimensions and detailing of a sash window to be considered individually. Rather than adapting the property to a standard product, we develop reproduction windows around the relevant opening, style and functional requirements.
Our oak sash windows can reflect features such as sash proportions and glazing-bar patterns, with the finish and glazing specification discussed as part of the design. The process is suitable for homeowners seeking to reproduce existing joinery or introduce a more appropriate design following previous alterations. We take care to establish the required appearance before manufacture, giving you the opportunity to review the details.
Sash Window Installs In Marylebone
Installing a sash window involves more than positioning the frame within an opening. The moving sections and their operating components must work together so the window can be used as intended. Our fitting service includes complete box sash replacements and the installation of other wooden window types.
We clarify the extent of removal and replacement before work proceeds. During fitting, attention is given to alignment, sash movement and the relationship between the new joinery and the opening. Having manufacture and installation provided by the same specialist company helps maintain a consistent understanding of the specification throughout the project.
Replacement Timber Windows In Marylebone
Timber offers scope for reproducing traditional window details and maintaining a consistent appearance across a property. Our replacement timber window service includes hardwood casements and oak sash windows, with designs developed to suit the building.
We discuss the proposed construction, finish and glazing alongside the reasons for replacement. Single and double-glazed options can be considered according to the project, rather than assumed to be interchangeable in every situation. We also explain the importance of ongoing maintenance. Where repair or partial replacement remains a practical alternative, this can be assessed before committing to complete new windows.
Double Glazing Sash Windows In Marylebone
Improving glazing does not always require removing the entire window. Mortice & Green offers slimline double-glazing upgrades for suitable existing sash windows, as well as newly manufactured double-glazed replacements.
An assessment establishes whether the existing joinery can accommodate the proposed upgrade and whether related repairs are needed. The glazing specification is considered alongside the appearance and operation of the window, including its balance and draught proofing. Where an upgrade is unsuitable, we explain the replacement options. This approach helps you compare the extent of each solution and understand how it addresses your priorities for comfort and retention of existing features.
Preserving Detail While Improving Everyday Use
The appearance of a sash window depends on the relationship between its individual parts. Changes to the thickness of a frame, the division of panes or the proportions of the sashes can affect how it sits within a building’s frontage.
Our experience in restorative joinery informs both repair and replacement work. We consider the existing details before recommending changes and distinguish between components that are worn and those that remain useful. For properties with several windows, this may result in a combination of services rather than one specification applied throughout.
Mortice & Green also undertakes work on listed buildings and properties in conservation settings, including reproduction windows made to conservation officer specifications. If your property has particular heritage requirements, please share this information when arranging an assessment so it can inform the proposed work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mortice & Green provides sash window repairs, renovation, restoration, draught proofing and bespoke replacement windows in Marylebone. We also manufacture and install hardwood sash and casement windows and assess existing windows for double-glazing upgrades. The recommended service depends on the condition of your joinery and the work you want to achieve.
The decision depends on the condition of the timber and the extent of any mechanical or structural deterioration. A broken cord or worn catch does not, by itself, justify complete replacement. Our team examines the window and explains whether targeted repairs, broader renovation or new joinery would be appropriate.
The cost depends on the fault, the size and number of windows, and whether additional timber or mechanical work is required. A straightforward cord replacement involves a different scope from restoring deteriorated joinery. Mortice & Green provides free, no-obligation quotations that set out the work proposed for your property.
Yes. Draught proofing addresses gaps around the moving sashes, so it can be undertaken separately from changes to the glazing. We fit discreet brush-pile seals within the retaining beads as part of our renovation service. The window’s fit and condition are assessed to identify any other repairs needed.
In suitable windows, slimline double-glazed units can be incorporated into the existing joinery. Suitability depends on the window’s construction, timber condition and relevant property requirements. Mortice & Green assesses these factors before explaining whether an upgrade, replacement sashes or a complete new window is the most appropriate option.
Yes. Mortice & Green has experience repairing and reproducing windows for listed buildings and conservation settings. We can discuss the existing detailing and any specifications supplied by your conservation officer. Tell us about the property’s status and any relevant documents when enquiring so these requirements can be considered from the start.
Depending on the window, renovation can include replacing cords, rebalancing the sashes, renewing pulley wheels or catches, fitting new timber beads and adding draught proofing. Redecoration may also be included where agreed. Your quotation should identify the specific repairs and finishes covered, as the requirements vary between windows.
Yes. Our bespoke reproduction service allows us to consider the dimensions, pane arrangement and joinery details of neighbouring windows. We use these features to inform the replacement design, helping maintain a consistent appearance. The proposed specification is discussed before manufacture so the relevant details are understood.
