This can lead to drafts, energy loss and water damage. Paint can crack and peel, leaving the timber exposed to the elements. Specialist joiners can repaint or re-stain the wood, repairing any damage and protecting it for the future. An easel can be useful tool for working on sash windows as it gives you a stable platform to work from. A good scraper can also be necessary. Sash Cords that are Broken or worn Over time, sash cable may become brittle. They may snap or break. This can be the result of a window issue such as a broken pulley, or it could occur when the sash has been closed and opened repeatedly. When this occurs the sash is likely to be difficult to move upwards and downwards without causing friction or requiring significant effort. To repair broken sash cords, first open the window and look for the parting bead, which is a thin piece of wood that divides the sashes that are lower and upper. Utilizing a screwdriver, gently pry the bead away from the frame. After removing the bead you can begin to remove the sash. Once the sash has been removed, you'll need to find the two cast-iron weights that are housed in pockets on either side. In most cases, there is one weight in the back (towards the outside of the window frame) and the other in the front (towards the interior side of the frame). Take both weights off and set them away. After taking out the counterweights from the sash channels, take out the access panel. Depending on the kind of window you have, there may be screws or a chisel to assist you in removing the panel. You will be able see the spring coil which retracts the sash cords when the panel has been removed. If isn't functioning properly, you might be able to hear windows trying to move, and you may feel a slight resistance. Re-coiling the spring can fix this problem. Aft
