Honest service and impressive results
The work was slightly delayed because of an issue with the glazing delivery, but Victoria kept us updated throughout, which we really appreciated.
The installation happened during one of the coldest days of the year — I honestly felt for the guys working in that wind. Fair play to them, they just got on with it. And I have to say, we could feel the difference almost straight away once the sashes with the new glazing were back in. The house felt warmer instantly.
The finish is good — not “brand new window” perfect, but that’s not what we were expecting anyway. It’s more like a really well-done refurbishment, and the windows still keep their original character, just much better performing.
What really sets SJ apart, in my opinion, is the value of the service. From the research I did before committing, they seem to install some of the best-performing glazing available. The installation itself is relatively quick, but be prepared for an early start.
If we were doing it again, I’d probably plan it further in advance — but I’d definitely go with the same company

A huge improvement without replacing the windows
We bought the house with single glazed windows, and they came with all the usual issues – draughts, cold rooms, and just generally not being very efficient.
Alex and his team suggested restoring and reglazing the windows instead of replacing them. We were a bit sceptical at first, but after seeing a project they’d already completed in Chelmsford, we felt confident enough to go ahead.
Honestly, we’re so glad we did. The difference is massive – no draughts at all, the house feels warmer, and the windows still look original which was really important to us. The vacuum glazing performance is genuinely second to none.
Can’t recommend Alex and his team enough. Brilliant work from start to finish

"Scott James Sash Windows Specialists did an excellent job restoring my windows. They’re now smooth, draught-free, and look fantastic. The team was professional and efficient, and I’m really impressed with the quality of their work. Definitely recommend them for anyone looking to restore their sash windows!
I hired Scott James Sash Windows Specialists to restore my old windows, and I’m honestly really impressed! From the start, the team was super professional, took the time to listen to what I wanted, and gave me great advice on how to care for the windows. The restoration was done quickly, and the results are fantastic! The windows open like new, there are no more draughts, and they’ve managed to keep that classic look. I didn’t expect to get such great results for the price. I’m really happy with the work and would definitely recommend them!
The team arrived on time each day, worked well together to get the job done in 5 days. Excellent finish, all windows look like they’ve come out of a factory, no more rattling frames, no wind rushing through the windows and each room is now much warmer and quieter. Highly recommend Alex and his team.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our service.
I wholeheartedly recommend the specialists at Scott James for anyone requiring refurbishment or double glazing of traditional windows. They exhibited a high level of craftsmanship and knowledge about sash windows and heritage style double glazing. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Our sash windows now not only look beautiful but also effectively retain heat.
We are delighted with the product and the team were very good to work with. Alex visited and explained the process and product, the installation went to plan and was clean and efficient, the team were fantastic. The product has exceeded expectation and our heat loss from the sash windows is reduced to virtually zero on the thermal camera. I would highly recommend this team with excellent support from Victoria in the office.
