Services
Draught Proofing
Our draught-proofing system involves dismantling windows, installing brush strips, and re-cording sashes to eliminate heat loss. This process improves energy efficiency by reducing heat loss through windows by up to 20%. We use professional-grade materials and techniques to ensure long-lasting results.
Timber Repairs
Specialist restoration of decayed timber windows using Dry Flex Resin and Timbercare products. We repair sash weights, pulleys, and rotten frames while maintaining original architectural features. Our methods preserve historical integrity while improving thermal performance for modern energy standards.
Double Glazed Sash Windows
Manufacture and installation of slim double-glazed sash windows using Planitherm Total+ glass. These units maintain period aesthetics while achieving significant noise reduction and thermal efficiency. Argon gas-filled units provide optimal insulation without altering original window designs.
Window Furniture
Supply and installation of high-quality window hardware including brass, chrome, and satin black finishes. We offer antique brass, polished chrome, and custom finishes to complement period properties. All fittings enhance functionality while maintaining traditional aesthetics.
Joinery Services
Bespoke manufacturing of sash windows, casement windows, and hardwood doors in traditional Victorian, Georgian, and period-specific designs. Our workshop creates exact replicas or modified designs to meet planning requirements while preserving architectural symmetry.

We had some new hardwood double glazed sash windows made and fitted by Louis to replace our old draughty rotting sashes. Louis was very professional from initial quote to the day of fitting. Louis and Adam were prompt on the day and not only did an amazing job fitting the new sashes but also cleaned up really well. The windows are an absolute joy! No more windows dripping in condensation and much quieter and warmer. Just need to save up to get the rest of the house done! Highly recommended.

Meridian Box Sash Windows is by far the most unprofessional and unreliable company I have ever dealt with. Three times over a 10 week period, I spoke to them regarding a quotation for window refurbishment and I was let down every time. They never once showed up and never replied to my emails or text messages. A complete waste of my time. I wouldn't recommend this company to anybody

About two years ago, Meridian Sash replaced our old single pane windows with double glazed sash versions (filled with argon gas and with draft proofing). The new units were created to fit the old frames, and to reflect the original design of the house. They look fantastic, and perform extremely well. We've had only positive feedback from visitors and neighbours alike. And, the house now performs much better in terms of energy costs for heating. Our experience of Louis and his team of installers was great, and we really appreciated having them in to do the work. We recommend them to anyone looking

I got on well with Louis straight from the start, and it was very easy to come to an agreement on what we needed. Louis and His team at Meridian completed the job on time and to a high standard. We have recommended him to some of our friends too!
