Sash Window Repairs was a small business created by Nate in early 2010. At the time Nate was working for a joiner, dressing, cutting and joining recycled timbers to create furniture pieces, windows and doors. Nate was mentored into the art of restoring sash windows, after seeing a need and developing a passion for their character and charm. To this day Nate predominantly works the business alone, however often his brother who is a carpenter also located in Melbourne, and other joiners will help/assist with replicating sashes when required.

claire plummer8 July 2022I appreciate Nate’s perfectionist work a lot. Thanks for fixing my two broken Sash windows and going over and above. I highly recommend.
Rem Richards19 January 2021Nate is a legend. He fixed our sash windows at a very reasonable cost. He was very prompt and did a fantastic job. His work confirmed that there is no need to replace sash windows for newer style windows. Highly recommend.
Owen Mehegan10 December 2020I had Nate restore and draft-proof four sash windows in the Victorian terrace I just purchased. He showed up on time, did a great job, and left the place clean, all for a very reasonable price. He's a one-man operation and very busy, so it might take a few tries to reach him, but you won't be disappointed.
Mike Harris11 January 2020I have been using Nate for over 5 years now and have never been disappointed. Nate repairs windows for my painting and renovations business whilst we are onsite. He is very reliable, his work is quality and he appreciates our business relationship. Nate always answers the phone or calls back. Thanks for everything mate
Stella Wolf15 August 2019I needed to repair multiple windows in my beautiful heritage home and I had felt very cautious about allowing a stranger to touch my delicate windows, especially the ornate lead light windows. A design associate highly recommended Nate as being highly skilled, efficient and trustworthy so I chose to try the recommendation .The result was the absolute best experience I could have imagined. My windows are no longer rattling away and letting the breeze in, they are working perfectly, like brand new . Nate treated my windows with the greatest care and I highly recommend his services 10/10

Common Questions About Sash Window Repairs
Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about sash window repairs and how we can help restore the functionality and beauty of your windows.
What exactly is a sash window?
A sash window, sometimes called a double hung window consists of a two timber sash’s that slide up and down. These windows originated in the UK, and are often found in period homes. Traditionally these windows operate using cords, weights and pulleys, however post 50’s homes may have spiral sash balances (look like rods going down the sides of the sash), instead of pulleys.
What types of sash window repairs do you offer?
Only timber sash windows are repaired (not aluminium). There are two types of sash’s we repair, the traditional sash’s with weights and pulleys and the spiral balanced sash’s.
Do you repair the top and bottom sash’s?
Not many people are aware that sash windows have two components, a top sash and a bottom sash. Both these sash’s should open, however most homes will have the top sash nailed or painted shut.
Why should you fix the top and bottom sash?
Sash Window Repairs advocates fixing both the top and bottom sash for a few reasons. Firstly, repairing them both keeps them functioning as they were originally intended and can assist with the re-sale value of your home. Practically, opening both the top and bottom allows for greater circulation, as the hot air escapes through the top and the colder air comes through the bottom. Additionally, being able to open just the top means you can allow for air flow without compromising the safety and security of you home. (This is great if you like to have air flow through the night, or have small children/pets)
What areas do you service?

Do you offer draft-proofing?
Yes, we can draftproof your windows. we will install good quality brush-pile, machined into your beads, so that the are of minimal disturbance and visibility. Your windows will be draft-proofed and also not rattle, nor bring in as much noise anymore.
Should I repair the windows before or after I paint them?
Technically, sash windows can be repaired both before and after they are painted. However, if they are painted beforehand they will need to be touched up again after work has been completed, as there may be some minor paint damage. It is preferable to get them repaired first and then painted. You will be then able to access all parts of the sash (including the meeting rail), and will not have to re-paint them.
Do you put new glass in?
Yes, Sash Window Repairs can install new glass if neccesary. However, this glass needs to meet industry standards. The original glass installed in period homes is often 2.5-3mm thick, and according to industry standards (Australian Standard AS1288-2006) might now need to be 4mm thick if replaced. This will mean the sash will be heavier and may also need heavier weights installed.
Will you install new flyscreens?
Yes, Sash Window Repairs can make and install new flyscreens for your windows.
Do you double-glaze windows?
No, Sash Window Repairs does not offer double glazing.
Do you paint windows?
Unfortunately, Sash Window Repairs does not paint the sash’s, but is happy to either refer you to a painter, or offer you tips on how to paint them yourselves.
