Box Sash Steve is the pen name used by the SashWindow.co editorial team for our guides to repairing, draught-proofing and replacing period sash windows.
About our guides
Our aim is simple: to give homeowners plain-English answers about sash windows, so they can make good decisions and hire the right people. Every guide is written for people who live in period homes, not for the trade.
How we research and check our content
- Planning and regulations: we base planning, conservation area and building regulations information on official government guidance and published council design guides, and we say clearly where rules vary between councils.
- Prices: cost figures are typical UK ranges drawn from published cost surveys and price guides, and are reviewed regularly. We show London prices separately where they differ.
- Practical advice: repair and maintenance guides describe established traditional methods for timber sash windows.
- Updates: we review our guides regularly and correct anything that has changed. If you spot an error, email hello@sashwindow.co and we will fix it.
Independence
Our guides are not written or paid for by window companies. Companies listed on SashWindow.co may pay for enhanced listings, but this does not affect what we write. Any sponsored content will always be clearly labelled.
