Mr Sam Lacey

Hello, my name&#39;s Sam. I fix, restore, and preserve traditional windows with care and know-how. I believe in honest work, fair prices, and making old windows work like new. I can attend to stuck sashes, rattles, draughts, and decades of wear—without unnecessary replacements. Just a smooth, quiet glide and all the charm left intact. Sometimes that means a careful repair, sometimes a well-matched replacement—but always with your home’s character front and center. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we understand the importance of professionalism in every aspect of our service. Whether you’re at home during the refurbishment or away, you can trust us to uphold the highest standards of professionalism. From prompt communication to video updates of our progress, you can be sure that your windows are in safe hands. We’re accustomed to working in occupied homes and can accommodate removal of curtain drapes if needed. Our process includes protecting floors and sheeting furniture to ensure your space remains clean and protected during the refurbishment.

Golden hour after a long day refurbishing these timber sash windows

Two sashes needed replacing in this full bay window refurbishment. This required attention to existing details to ensure they match. After painting they should last for decades.

Restorations

As you can see, this bottom rail was in need of replacement from enduring the British weather for many years.

After carefully reassembling and reglazing the window we re-balanced and hung the sashes back into the frame.

Before & After Bottom Rail Repair

The stiles and cill were in a sorry state after years of water damage

We decided to replace the cill in it's entirety as well as a splice repair to the stile. We took measures to ensure the rain water wouldn't settle on the timber again.

Sash Window Restoration by SCS Lacey

Sam replaced badly rotted window cills. He works carefully and thoroughly,  ensuring work is completed to a high standard. A real artisan.

As good as new!

I cannot recommend Sam more highly!  He is hugely knowledgable & passionate about sash windows, even supplying a glossary of terms with his quote to explain carefully the intricacies of the work he carries out. The Grade II listed Georgian sash window he renovated for me was particularly delicate & rotten in places.  He transformed it within a matter of a few days to the point that it is about as energy efficient as single glazed sash windows can be, especially with original 250 yr old glass panes! He’s an absolute delight to deal with too. Sam, you deserve much success in your venture!

Full Grade II listed Georgian sash window renovation

Sam communicated very well and told me everything that he was doing and that would need to be done in future to keep the window in good condition.

Sam is an artisan., who takes real pride in his work.   

My restored sash windows now  look as good as new, if not better. All work involved and  costs were explained clearly before he began.  

He worked with care, ensuring rooms  were left weather proof overnight, and dust swept up. 

As good as new

Sam responded quickly to my enquiry and after sending his qoute, he visited my home within 48 hours. I would highly recommend him as his work was excellent and his manner appeared both decent and trustworthy.

Sam responded to my enquiry promptly, came for a site visit and then prepared a quote which showed the estimated costs but also highlighted costs which may vary once unseen problems surfaced.

He clearly loves his job and takes pride in quality workmanship. I’m really impressed and delighted to see my old sash windows restored to the point they all open smoothly top and bottom, are draft free and have new and secure fixings. Highly recommend.
