Timber Window Repairs and Restoration
At Rick Thorpe Property Services, we specialise in the restoration and repair of timber windows and wooden frames throughout Lincoln, Grantham, Sleaford, Newark-on-Trent, and surrounding villages across Lincolnshire. Our bespoke service is designed to preserve the charm and integrity of your original wooden windows while enhancing their longevity and functionality.
We combine traditional craftsmanship with advanced repair systems, including the highly regarded Repair Care System—an industry-leading solution known for its conservation-grade finish. Using only premium materials and time-tested techniques, we ensure long-lasting repairs that respect the original character of your timber-framed windows.
Sash Window Restoration – Keeping Period Charm Alive
Many period properties, especially those within designated conservation areas, retain original Georgian-style sash windows. These historic timber sash windows can be over a century old and were crafted from high-quality wood, which has endured thanks to the exceptional materials and methods used at the time.
Rather than opting for costly replacements, often lacking the authenticity of the original wooden windows, we offer complete sash window restoration services. Our process includes:
- Replacement of rotten or damaged timber
- Re-glazing and frame repairs
- Rebuilding glazing bars, sills, and frames (always using hardwood)
- Full preparation, including stripping, treating, priming, and painting in a traditional finish of your choice
By restoring rather than replacing, we help you maintain your property’s character while saving on costs. Get in touch to discuss your timber window repairs in Lincolnshire—where conservation comes first.
Why Choose the “Repair Care” System?
The Repair Care System is a specialist solution for timber window repairs in listed and period buildings. It offers a practical, cost-effective alternative to full joinery replacement, making it ideal for sensitive restoration work.
Benefits include:
- Minimal disruption to your home
- Precise removal of decayed timber
- Maximum retention of original joinery
- Perfect for heritage and conservation projects
- Uses flexible, epoxy-based resin that expands and contracts with the wood
- Forms a strong, watertight bond with timber, metal, and masonry
- Suitable for small or large repairs, including complex mouldings
- Solvent-free, odourless, and resistant to slumping
- Seals and protects joints, ends, and vulnerable areas of wooden windows, doors, and fascias
A Cost-Effective Alternative to Window Replacement
Modern softwoods, often used in window replacements, tend to have higher moisture content and are prone to premature failure. Once painted, trapped moisture can lead to unseen rot and structural weakness. Replacing several timber windows—especially with hardwood—can be extremely costly.
Our system resolves these problems by offering strong, reliable, and long-lasting timber window repairs, extending the life of your existing wooden frames at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Ideal for Older Properties
Older properties typically feature timber windows made from high-quality, slow-grown wood. While localised decay is natural after 100 years, full replacement often results in poorer quality wooden windows—unless expensive hardwood is used.
Our method preserves original features through precision repairs, avoiding unnecessary replacements and maintaining architectural value.
Preserve the Character of Your Original Timber Windows
Replacing original wooden windows can result in the loss of heritage charm. In conservation areas, planning consent for modern replacements is frequently denied. Our advanced restoration system makes it possible to:
- Rebuild decayed casement frames and glazing bars
- Restore heavily deteriorated areas
- Use fast-curing Dry Seal glazing for quicker turnaround compared to traditional putty
Our clients are consistently impressed by the visual results and substantial cost savings.
