Should You Repair or Replace Old Sash Windows in Hampstead?

Living in Hampstead often means owning a beautiful period property—but it also means maintaining original features like sash windows. When your wooden sashes become worn or damaged, the big question is: Should you repair them or replace them entirely?

Let’s explore the pros and cons of each option so you can make the right decision for your home and your budget.

When Sash Window Repair Makes Sense

Repairing your sash windows is often the most cost-effective and heritage-friendly solution. You should choose repair if:

The timber is mostly intact, with only small areas of rot

Your windows are jammed, rattling, or painted shut

The glass is in good condition

You want to keep the original frames and character

Common repairs include:

Replacing broken sash cords

Filling in rotten timber sections

Reglazing cracked panes

Installing new draught-proof seals

In Hampstead’s conservation areas, repair is also preferable for planning reasons. Preserving original features keeps the property’s historical value intact.

When Replacement May Be Necessary

Full replacement may be the better option if:

The timber frames are severely rotted

The window no longer opens or closes at all

There’s structural damage or sash distortion

You want to switch to double glazing in an old single-pane unit

At Hampstead Sash Window Repairs, we offer bespoke sash window replacements crafted to match the original style. We replicate:

Georgian and Victorian profiles

Horns, bars, and glazing styles

Traditional joinery with modern energy efficiency

We also provide heritage double-glazing units, which maintain the look of old windows while reducing heat loss.

The Cost Difference: Repair vs. Replace

Repair is usually 40–60% cheaper than full replacement. A typical repair job may cost between £250–£600 per window, depending on the level of damage.

Replacement can cost £1,000 or more per window—but this includes new timber frames, glass, cords, weights, and paint finishes.

We always recommend a professional inspection before making your choice. In many cases, a well-done repair can extend your windows’ life by 20+ years.

Energy Efficiency Considerations

Repairing old sash windows doesn’t mean sacrificing efficiency. We can add:

Discreet draught-proofing

Secondary glazing

New window seals

Balanced weights for airtight closure

These upgrades significantly improve insulation while preserving your property’s classic appearance.

Local Rules and Conservation Area Regulations

Hampstead includes several conservation areas, where strict planning rules apply. Replacing sash windows often requires approval, especially on street-facing façades.

We have experience working within Camden Council regulations and can advise you on permitted repairs, replacements, and planning applications.
