Owners of older and character property
Written for owners of older and character property
Written for character property owners. The concern is rarely thermal performance alone, it is whether a modern frame will make the elevation look wrong from the pavement.
What we build into the quote for you
- Careful removal so stone and render around the opening is not damaged
- Heritage colours and traditional hardware rather than stock white and chrome
- The threshold sealant runs the full width with a single tool pass, not stitched together in inches.
- New frames sit on hardwood packers, not plastic offcuts — plastic creeps under load, timber does not.
Ten year product guarantee on heritage profiles exactly as on standard ranges
How we build flush sash windows
Old timber or uPVC frames removed with care to protect the reveal, flush frames sat proud of the brick line to sit level with render or cladding, drainage slots angled below the cill.
- • 70mm flush-fit uPVC profile
- • concealed friction hinges
- • 28mm A+ rated argon-filled unit
- • mechanical joints for a crisp square corner
Guarantee: 10-year product, 10-year foil colour, 2-year fitting.
Why Cardiff homeowners choose us
What we typically find on flush sash windows surveys around here
- ·The escutcheon on the front door is loose and rotates as the key turns.
- ·A cat flap has been cut through the lower panel of the back door, weakening the panel and voiding warranty.
- ·One sash sits proud of the frame by 2mm along the top rail — a factory manufacturing tolerance that never got addressed.
- ·There is a hairline crack running diagonally from the top corner of one bathroom pane where the frame has twisted.
- ·The cill end-cap has fallen off and the cill chamber is now a home for insects.
- ·The gap under the front door has been carpet-strip filled from inside — the exterior weather bar is missing.
- ·The seal at the beading corner has shrunk enough to expose the mitre on the internal white finish.
- ·The trickle-vent covers have been snapped off and taped over from inside.
- ·The internal beads pop out with a chisel and a tap, but the external glazing gasket is bonded solidly to the frame.
- ·The internal beadwork has been painted so many times the mitres are unrecognisable.
- ·A previous owner has fitted a chain to the front door on top of the multipoint — a sign they never trusted the lock.
- ·The letterplate has a hinged internal flap that has snapped off and is currently held in place with masking tape.
- ·The letterplate is a straight through-plate with no anti-snap flap — visible from outside in the hallway.
- ·The old timber back door has a live rot pocket at the bottom hinge that reads soft to a screwdriver tip.
- ·The bay-window front elevation has a visible smile — the middle mullion has sagged and taken the head with it.
- ·There is a paint bridge from the internal architrave to the frame that will crack the moment the new unit lifts out.
Why residents are booking flush sash windows right now
- ·The owner is preparing the elevation for a specific street-photo listing and wants the finish to be photographable in raking morning light.
- ·The homeowner is preparing to work from home permanently and wants the office quieter than the living room used to be.
- ·The homeowner wants the property EPC to move up a band ahead of a remortgage in six months.
- ·The resident has already lost one composite door to a courier boot and wants the replacement rated for impact.
- ·The buyer wants a full set of the same colour across every elevation, not the current mixed collection.
- ·The buyer wants the whole ground floor to feel more connected to the garden without losing the wall.
- ·The homeowner wants matt black hardware because everything inside the house is matt black — no chrome to argue with.
- ·The resident wants the frames to survive a specific paint colour on the render for at least a decade.
- ·The resident wants the letterbox to stop being a draught source without giving up daily post.
- ·The resident is moving elderly parents in downstairs and needs the front threshold to be wheelchair-usable.
- ·The owner is done with the biannual repaint of the timber back door and wants a paint-free equivalent.
- ·The owner is buying and wants to time the frame swap for the week between exchange and moving in.
- ·The owner wants the front door hardware to match a specific interior palette — brass, matt black, or brushed nickel.
- ·The resident wants the front door lock to be re-keyable if a set of keys goes missing in year three.
- ·The buyer wants the front door delivered pre-hung and pre-glazed on the same date as the frames.
- ·The buyer wants the property to be quieter after 11pm — the street noise is fine, the bass from next door is not.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The old broken glass is bagged in a labelled sack, not tipped loose into a general skip.
- ·The new frame is stood in the reveal dry before any fixings go in — a final chance to catch a wrong-hand delivery.
- ·The client's alarm sensors on the old frames are removed and returned to the client, not binned by default.
- ·The frame is plumbed on two axes before the first fixing goes in — not one axis and then trusted.
- ·The gasket wedges are trimmed with a fresh knife blade for every unit — a dull blade tears the EPDM.
- ·The gasket is dressed into every corner with a specific gasket tool, not a screwdriver, so the corner stays sharp.
- ·The letterplate brush strip is trimmed to the exact height of the door thickness so it seals without dragging.
- ·The frame drainage caps are proven flowing before the beading goes in — a bottle of water down the outer chamber.
- ·The perimeter airtight tape is applied over the frame flange in a single unbroken run around all four sides.
- ·The friction stay on a new casement is set to the client's preferred restraint at handover — 45°, 90°, or fully open.
- ·The trickle-vent covers are set with their vane orientation matched across a bank of windows for visual consistency.
- ·The concrete cill under the frame is checked for cracks; a hairline gets a slurry fix before the frame is set.
- ·The glazing bead is tapped in with a rubber mallet, not a metal claw — the profile marks otherwise.
- ·The finished elevation is photographed from the pavement and uploaded to the office job file as sign-off record.
- ·Sealant is a single continuous bead run at the perimeter, not overlapped in six-inch runs.
- ·Fixings are set at the manufacturer's spacing, not evenly spaced by eye — the corner loads matter.

Will modern frames look wrong on an older house?+
They can, if the profile is chosen badly. Flush sash sits back into the reveal and keeps the sightline slim, which is why we specify it on older elevations rather than standard chamfered casements.
Do I need permission to replace windows on a character property?+
Usually not on an unlisted house outside a conservation area. Inside one, or where an article 4 direction applies, the rules are stricter and we will check with the council before you order.
