Do you restore original cottage windows in Upperthong?

Yes. We repair the casement and box-sash windows common to Upperthong's hillside cottages, splicing decayed timber, renewing cords and beads and draught-proofing the result while retaining the original timber and glass wherever it is sound.

Can sashes be repaired off-site and refitted?

Yes. With access on Upperthong's narrow lanes sometimes tight, original sashes can be carefully removed, brought the short distance to the Honley workshop for repair, and reinstated — keeping the original window rather than fitting a replacement.

Upperthong perches on the hillside straight above Holmfirth, a tight grid of stone weavers' cottages and terraces with some of the best views in the Holme Valley. The houses are old and full of character — original casement and sash windows, panelled and plank doors and timber detail that rewards careful, like-for-like repair.

We restore windows and doors and turn replacement parts for Upperthong's period cottages, only a few minutes from the workshop in Honley.

Local knowledge

Joinery that suits Upperthong

Sitting just above Holmfirth's conservation area, Upperthong shares the same late-Georgian and Victorian stone character, with box-sash and small-pane casement windows that respond well to splicing, re-cording and draught-proofing. Keeping these original is what holds the hillside streetscape together.

The narrow lanes here can make access tight, so where it suits the project original sashes can be removed, repaired at the Honley bench and reinstated with minimal disruption.
