Timber sash windows for homes and businesses in Pembroke Dock
Sash windows can be supplied as complete new frames, or as new double glazed sashes fitted into an existing sound box frame. Keeping the box retains original linings and architraves and reduces disturbance to plaster, but only works when the frame is free of rot and still square.
Slim double glazed units let sash windows keep fine glazing bars and traditional proportions while improving thermal performance. Bars can be true divisions with individual units, or bars bonded to both faces of a single unit with a spacer bar between the panes, which looks very similar from a short distance.
Sash windows that run smoothly need routine care: keep the pulley wheels free of paint, wax or lightly lubricate the running channels, check the cords for fraying, and repaint timber before bare wood shows. Draught brush seals in the beads and meeting rails reduce rattles and heat loss.
Timber sash windows are usually made from engineered softwood or durable hardwoods, factory primed and finished with microporous paint that lets moisture escape. Factory finishing gives a more even coat than painting on site, but timber still needs periodic redecoration, and the interval depends on exposure and colour.
Included as standard
- Survey recording mouldings, horns, bars and box condition

- Coast
- Pembroke Dock is about 2 km from the coast or a tidal estuary, so salt air and wind-driven rain are worth planning for. Salt-laden wind and driving rain shorten the life of paint on exposed sashes, so coastal timber windows benefit from durable timbers, good factory coatings and regular inspection. Brass or stainless sash furniture resists corrosion better than plated steel near the sea.
- Daylight and sun
- In Pembroke Dock the midwinter sun reaches about 15° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.6 hours of daylight, rising to about 62° and 16.4 hours in midsummer. Glazing bars and deep frames reduce daylight, so slimmer bars and high light-transmission low-E glass help north-facing rooms. Tall south-facing sashes can let in strong summer sun; the top sash can be lowered to vent warm air out at high level.
- Access and setting
- Older rural houses often have sash openings that are out of square, with soft stone or lime plaster around them, so each window is measured individually and fitted gently. Exposed sites benefit from draught seals and robust weatherboards on the bottom sash.
- Rules in Wales
- In Wales, Approved Document N covers safety glazing: safety glass is needed in and around doors and in low-level glazing where people could walk into it.

In Wales, replacing a whole window or glazed external door is building work and is notified either by an installer registered with a competent person scheme or through the local authority's building control. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is treated as a repair.
Options to choose between
Tilt-in sashes
Sashes that tilt inwards for cleaning upper-floor glass from inside, and can help provide an escape opening.
Glazing bar patterns
Two over two, six over six or other bar layouts, as true divisions or bars bonded to the glass faces.
Timber box sash
Traditional weights, cords and pulleys in a box frame, made in engineered softwood or hardwood and factory painted to your colour.
Sash Windows in Pembroke Dock: questions
Can I have double glazed sash windows in a listed building?
Sometimes, but listed building consent is needed for significant works, and some councils will only accept repair of the original windows or slim double glazing with matching details. Secondary glazing is often accepted where new windows are not. Speak to your council's conservation officer before ordering; we can provide drawings and specifications to support an application.
How much do sash windows cost?
The cost of sash windows depends on size, material, whether you replace the whole frame or only the sashes, the glazing bar pattern, the glass and the finishing details such as horns and mouldings. Timber usually costs more than uPVC, and listed building work costs more again. See the guide prices for typical ranges; the written quote fixes your price.
What guarantee comes with new sash windows?
Manufacturer guarantees apply to the joinery, finish, sealed units and hardware, and the terms are confirmed in writing. Cover on the paint finish often depends on regular maintenance, so check the conditions. Guarantee terms for the installation are set out in writing with your quote, so you know what is covered before agreeing to go ahead.
How long does it take to replace sash windows?
Fitting a single sash window usually takes most of a day, longer where the box frame is removed or plaster disturbed. A whole house typically takes several days on site. The windows are made to order first, and timber sashes with special details take longer to manufacture; the lead time is confirmed in writing with your quote.
