Trying to Save Period Features
During our renovation we discovered the sash windows were still original, hidden under years of paint. I'd hate to lose that detail by installing modern replacements. Has anyone used a reliable service for sash window restoration in London? Looking for honest recommendations from people who've had similar work done.

We had something similar when stripping back a hallway wall and found the original sashes buried under layers of old paint. I was tempted to swap them out, but once I saw the detail in the wood, I couldn’t do it. A mate had theirs restored in London and said it kept the character without making the place feel drafty or tired. I’d start with handcrafted sash windows for period homes as a solid place to look.
