Around here that usually means a railway era terraces near the station where the original frames have given up. We work right across CF82 — Hengoed, Penpedairheol, Maesycwmmer and the surrounding streets — typically arriving via A472. 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.

Buying flush sash windows as owners of older and character property
This page is for older stock where the replacement has to look right as well as perform. Sightlines, reveal depth and the way a frame sits back from the brick face are the difference between a sympathetic job and an obvious one.
What this buyer actually needs from us
- Careful removal so stone and render around the opening is not damaged
- Advice on conservation area and planning constraints before ordering
- The multipoint gearbox is thrown by hand before the frame goes in — a factory fault at that point is a five-minute fix.
- The internal architrave is scored along its length with a fresh blade before removal, so the wallpaper does not tear back.

What we typically find on flush sash windows surveys around here
- ·The front door has been painted three times without stripping — the paint film is now stopping the door closing at the top.
- ·The bay corner post has never had its structural bracket — a common corner-cutting shortcut a decade ago.
- ·There is no drip groove on the underside of the cill — water tracks straight back onto the brick face.
- ·Original security stickers from the installer are still on the bottom of the panes, twenty years later.
- ·Every casement in the property opens with a firm tug on the second click — the friction stays are seized.
- ·Original door furniture is 90s brass, tarnished, and no longer matches anything else on the elevation.
- ·Handles on the ground-floor windows have been swapped for cheap replacements that no longer match the espag rod.
- ·The internal glazing bead sits proud of the frame by 1.5mm, so the seal at the top corner has failed first.
- ·One sash locks by lifting a nail out of the frame — a bodge from a decade ago that everyone forgot about.
- ·The bathroom obscure glass pattern has been discontinued for over a decade — matching a single pane is not possible.
- ·The bathroom pane is patterned glass from the original build, and the pattern is no longer a current stock line.
- ·A previous fitter foam-filled the reveal gap directly against the frame, and the foam has now pushed the jamb inward.
- ·The internal beadwork has been painted so many times the mitres are unrecognisable.
- ·Two units have the classic dust ring inside the sealed gap, meaning the perimeter seal has been breached for at least a year.
- ·A weep vent that was factory-drilled has been over-painted three times and no longer clears water from the chamber.
- ·A tenant repair on the bathroom window has used bathroom silicone as the primary bead — it's already gone black.

How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The friction stay on a new casement is set to the client's preferred restraint at handover — 45°, 90°, or fully open.
- ·The fitting van is stocked with the specific spare parts likely to be needed on the day — not a return trip on a missing hinge.
- ·The perimeter airtight tape is applied over the frame flange in a single unbroken run around all four sides.
- ·Cylinders come out of the box, get numbered, and are the last thing fitted, so a lost cylinder does not stall the day.
- ·The threshold sealant runs the full width with a single tool pass, not stitched together in inches.
- ·The wall around the frame is Hoovered before the client sees the room again — brick dust ages a first impression.
- ·The old handles are offered to the client before being binned — sometimes a chrome D-handle finds a shed door life.
- ·Cavity closers get inserted where the old frame's cavity closer has failed — not omitted because it is unseen work.
- ·The multipoint keeps get a smear of grease inside the pocket before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The lead fitter photographs the reveal condition before the old frame comes out and shares those photos with the office.
- ·The composite slab is not cut on site — if it does not fit, a new slab is ordered rather than trimmed.
- ·The internal skirting is protected with a strip of packing tape across the top edge before any tool touches it.
- ·Fixings are always at the reinforcement points — a screw through the chamber alone loosens within a year.
- ·The window board is scribed to the plaster line, not left with a caulked gap that shows in raking light.
- ·The old frame's fixing holes in the brick are filled and made good before the new outer frame beads up to the reveal.
- ·The client is left with the manufacturer's paperwork in a labelled envelope, not a folded receipt tucked inside a drawer.
