WHERE CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS INNOVATION

 

Restore the window you have. Don't replace it.

 

Original timber sashes were built from old growth hardwood that simply isn't available today. Properly restored and sensitively upgraded, they outlast most modern replacements and keep your home's character intact.

 

WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE

Quieter rooms

 

Sealed gaps and acoustic glass take the edge off Sydney traffic and flight paths.

Warmer winters

 

Brush pile draught proofing stops the cold air and lost heat at the source.

Effortless operation

 

Rebalanced sashes glide open with one hand and stay exactly where you leave them.

Original character

 

Every upgrade is discreet, true to the original design and invisible from the street.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

 

Sash window services: questions & answers

 

The questions Matt hears most. Anything else? Call 0409 448 107.

Which service do I need?

 

If your windows rattle or let in cold air, start with draught proofing. If a sash drops or will not stay open, it usually needs new cords or spiral balances. Matt will tell you at the free quote.

 

Do you work on modern timber windows too?

 

Yes. Matt repairs sash and timber windows of every age, from Victorian terraces to homes built in the last few years.

 

What is included in draught proofing?

 

Each sash comes out, the frame is cleaned and eased, and high performance seals and beading go in. Cords and hardware are checked while the window is apart.

 

When do sash cords need replacing?

 

When a sash drops, sticks or will not stay open, the cords have usually frayed or snapped. Matt replaces every cord on the window, not just the broken one.

 

What are spiral balances?

 

Many later sash windows use spring loaded spiral balances instead of cords and weights. When they wear out the sash slips. Matt replaces or retensions them so the window glides and holds again.

 

Can you replace broken glass?

 

Yes. Matt replaces cracked panes and can upgrade to laminated, acoustic or Low E glass that suits your existing sashes.

 

Who looks after the work?

 

Matt does. MST is owner operated, so the person who quotes your job oversees it from start to finish and signs off every window.

Can rotten timber be repaired?

 

Usually, yes. As an Evermend ambassador, Matt rebuilds decayed sills, sashes and frames with a specialist epoxy system, so the original window can stay.

 

Do you fix locks, pulleys and other hardware?

 

Yes. Matt replaces worn sash locks, pulleys, lifts and stops, and can fit window restrictors for child safety.

 

Can several services be done in one visit?

 

Yes, and it usually saves time and money. Most jobs combine new cords, draught proofing and hardware while each sash is already out.

 

How much do sash window repairs cost in Sydney?

 

Every home is different, so Matt gives you a free, itemised quote on site. The price depends on the number, size and condition of your windows, and there are no hidden extras.

 

Are quotes really free?

 

Yes. Matt assesses your windows on site and gives you a clear, itemised quote, at no cost and with no obligation.

 

Which areas of Sydney do you cover?

 

All across Sydney, including North Sydney, the North Shore, the Northern Beaches and the Inner West. Unsure? Call 0409 448 107.

 

Do you clean up after the job?

 

Always. Floors and furniture are protected while Matt works, and he removes every scrap and tests each window with you before he leaves.
