Saddleworth Traditional Sash Windows

We are a small family run business with a long history in bench hand joinery, more recently specialising in sliding sash windows. Our workshop, where we manufacture all of our products, is in Warth Mill, Diggle in the heart of Saddleworth. Saddleworth Sash Windows is run by Michael Howe who has over 25 years joinery experience, passed down from his own father Jack Howe.

We can repair and restore your traditional sash windows. Depending on the condition of the window it may be viable to restore the original; we can do this by: Renewing parting beads with draft proofing Renewing staff beads with draft proofing Re-attaching weights Replacing ropes and pulleys Replacing window furniture Replacing the sashes if outer.

Most people decide they want to have the sliding sash windows professionally sprayed using the Teknos system, as it is difficult to paint these intricate windows once installed. Teknos are one of the leading manufacturers in the painting and finishing trade. You can also choose between the traditional weight and pulley system or the simpler system which uses sash balances.

At Saddleworth Sash Windows, we recommend using Accoya sustainable wood for all our sash windows, doors and other joinery projects. Accoya is a top of the range timber which can be used for Sash Windows, doors, decking and all other types of joinery projects. It has an extremely low thermal conductivity and more durable than the best tropical hardwoods.

This customer had original single glazed draughty wooden windows and wanted new double glazed windows but wanted to keep the same style. We recommended that they had their new windows made from Accoya as they did not know what timber they wanted but wanted something that would last and would not need much maintenance.
