Joinery › Windows

Fletcher and Son offer a full service for replacing or repairing windows. Our design service makes sure the windows will be in keeping with the age and structure of your property. As always, a quality bespoke service is offered along with an initial free quotation to appraise your specific requirements.

Using modern technology we can manufacture windows to any design and size, limited only by the confines of the iron mongery. Even the sizes of section can be altered to suit the application, for instance side linings may be included to accommodate tile hanging. These high performance windows, use some of the best timber and materials available and offer optimum insulation and, of course, very high security with our multi-point locking system.

Sliding-Sash Windows

Sliding sash windows have been around for over three hundred years. They were manufactured as large windows to allow the maximum amount of light to come into a room. The problem at that time was the inability to make glass panes in large sizes, so glazing bars were introduced to carry the smaller panes that were available.

Sliding Sash Windows were traditionally single glazed with a 3mm thick glass pane. Today we use 4mm glass and the units are often double glazed so the weight of the unit has increased dramatically. The modern design accommodates these changes with a wider sash with heavier counter weights encased inside. We can, of course, still produce Traditional Sliding Sash Windows, single glazed if required for a property in a Conservation Area, but we can also upgrade them using weather stripping (which is hidden from view).

With regard to maintenance, modern paint finishes provide a re-decoration period of seven to ten years for a solid colour and five years for translucent stains - depending on the aspect of the window.
