Traditional Sliding Sash With Weights and Cords

Traditional Sliding Sash Window With Weights and Cords

In a charming historic market town in Northumberland, Richard James embarked on a transformative project that breathed new life into an old property.

The heart of the project lay in the installation of a number of traditional sliding sash windows. Every detail, from the profiles and mouldings to the horns and glazing bars, was painstakingly crafted to replicate the intricate beauty of the past. Operated by cords and weights, these windows achieve a classic effect, evoking the traditional pulley systems found in old houses.

To complete the transformation, a traditional casement bay window was seamlessly integrated into the property’s facade.

What Our Customers Say

Quality and service are very important to us, but don’t just take our word for it. See what our customers say about the service, quality and value of our work.

Richard James fitted two new windows in our house, the oldest house (over 100yrs old) in Darras Hall. My wife and I were delighted. We were worried that the surrounds and wallpaper would be damaged or stained. However, they were left in pristine condition, and I stand and admire the workmanship.

Very pleasant team too, and no mess.

We are absolutely delighted with the craftsmanship of the windows and the fitting service was excellent too.

We are happy to recommend you to other customers should you wish to refer them to us or if anyone wants to view them as an example.

I cannot fault Richard James. They replaced 14 sliding sash windows in our house. They were not cheap but competitively priced and for the quality of the work they were excellent value. Beautiful windows, expertly fitted by staff who were a pleasure to have in the house. They were highly professional, attentive, great communication, hard-working, thoughtful and good company.

A visit to the workshop was well worth it to see what excellent standards they work to. They are simply a superb company I cannot recommend too highly.

We needed to replace a metal up and over garage door and our front door. We wanted to go back to traditional wooden doors that would be in keeping with our traditional semi-detached home. From the moment we contacted the team for design and concept ideas right through to project completion we have been impressed and extremely satisfied with their professional, quality of work and communication throughout.

It was evident after the initial consultation the team are committed to offering the highest quality of product and design, delivered with the very best levels of customer service. We cannot recommend this company highly enough.

I am very happy with the window installation at the Church Street site. The workmanship is of a very high quality, paint finish is very good, and the glazing bars have been manufactured, cut and installed impeccably, communication was very good between myself, Jimmy, Dan and Adam, their client handling was also very good.

I will be putting any future work your way and would recommend you to anyone seeking bespoke manufactured specialist joinery.

We found the service you gave us absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We had other joinery/window suppliers in to quote for the replacement windows but didn’t find any of them matched the quality of your windows, in particular the attention to detail. We have been absolutely delighted with the windows you’ve supplied to us. They are in keeping with our Victorian house but the difference to noise reduction and draughts has made a huge difference.

We cannot fault the service from start to finish and the quality of the windows is fantastic.

I needed new windows for my entire house. Richard James made me excellent quality windows and frames and arranged for them to be fitted. They are beautifully designed, built to last in hardwood and came beautifully spray painted. I am amazed how good they look. They allow so much more light into my home.

All the team have been really friendly and helpful and gave useful advice. We were delighted to get such good quality work for a reasonable price. They made the whole process a pleasure.
