Galvanised wire rope sash cords


One of our handymen is replacing sash cords for a customer in N4 today. Changing sash cords is a basic task for a Silver Saint and probably not blog worthy but today's job is replacing sash cords on some of the heaviest sash windows we have encountered, so heavy that even the thickest sash cord breaks after 3 months under the windows weight.

The solution is to replace the sash cords with galvanized wire rope. Much thinner than sash cord but much stronger and it also gives the sash window a surprisingly luxurious feel when they are opened and closed. Originally we did this job about 9 months for customer that was so impressed he recommended us to all of his neighbours who have the same windows and thus the same problem and one of those neighbours has booked us in for today.

What better time than the start of summer to have your sash windows working as they should.

For most other windows normal sash cords will suffice and we offer a fixed price for replacing sash cords:

Replace one inner sash window cord - £65+VAT
Replace one outer sash window cord - £75+VAT
Replace both inner sash window cords - £75+VAT
Replace both outer sash window cords - £95+VAT
