  I have no hesitation in recommending Sashpro. They replaced an old and warped front door, for a fantastic new one which is both sound and heat insulated. No longer draughty and noisy! We felt we were able to have the input we wanted for the look and functionality of the door. They have the added benefit of being a local company. They clearly understand wood and are excellent craftsmen.

  Having received quotes and estimates from several companies for the complete renewal of all of our windows and doors, we knew from the moment that Max walked in that SashPro were the company for us. Like many Londoners our property is an old victorian build with buckets of charm and not a straight wall in sight! We were keen to restore the property with new, draft proof double glazed wooden windows and doors - staying true to the original victorian design rather than alter it's character detrimentally with plastic windows where the building is altered to fit the window rather than the window crafted to fit the building. Max ran every detail by us step by step, recreating original moldings and sourcing the highest quality hardware to ensure each window fitted perfectly into its surroundings.The glazing itself is all double glazed with toughened glass chosen to give a slight ripple to match older windows rather than looking too machined, flat and lifeless. It's worth saying that often Max would phone with design ideas when building the windows that would invariably be more work for him but he felt were important design choices and to make in order to stay true to the house - his knowledge of period style is second to none. During the installation great care and time was taken carefully adjusting them to fit in a house that doesn't have a straight surface in it - this is an art in itself. The project isn't rushed and every step in the construction is meticulous with the emphasis being on quality, restoration and cleanliness rather than just jamming in a window in a day and sealing it with expanding foam. In addition to windows and shutters we had large doors built with mini sash windows either side - This replaced a similar iteration that was original but would have been impossible to achieve with plastic. We also had windows opened up and converted into French Doors opening into the garden, again all bespoke heavy weight high quality wood work with multipoint locking ironmongery for added security. To sum up- If you're looking to retain the period features of your property look no further... If you're debating between plastic and wood and worried that wood may be more expensive let SashPro quote - quality does cost more but it was more in reach than we thought it might be. Joiners that work to this standard and care this much about their craft are a hard find and we really couldn't be happier.. A real rare gem of brilliant craftsman!

  We got a lot of different quotes to replace an old UPVC window in our house with a traditional wooden sash, and they varied massively. But Max's quote was easily one of the most affordable yet his knowledge and skill obviously surpassed anyone else we spoke to. Max's passion for his job is obvious which means we loved working with him. The window is beautiful and we'd almost replace the rest of the windows in our house just to work with him again :)

  There is no doubt in my mind that traditional wooden box sash windows are the only correct solution for Victorian and Edwardian houses. Everything else just looks wrong including the UPVC lookalike types (if it ain’t wood… it ain’t good). I had replaced all my windows myself 32 years ago (I’m reasonably good at woodwork) and although they were still in a repairable state I decided to have the 3 bay windows and one side window replaced -, after all 30 years for windows is a good innings in anyone’s book. I obtained surveys/quotations from 4 companies that operate in my area – most of the companies had a good understanding of their subject with only one of them being downright obnoxious as well as being the most expensive. One of the companies buys in the windows from Romania, another wanted to use part a reconstituted fibre board for the boxes whilst the last one couldn’t build the boxes to the required thickness of the wall. I had no option but to get a further quotation just to make sure that the extraordinary cost quoted was justified. I was immediately taken by Max’s knowledge, understanding and passion for his trade. I instinctively knew that Sashpro was the right company for the job but was afraid that I would not be able to afford them. So I was delighted that Max’s quotation was the cheapest by a country mile. The eventual installation went like a dream too – the attention to detail is second to none. It sounds a bit like a cliché but Max was totally customer focussed throughout the project without being over the top. I’m sceptical myself about anyone’s reviews and often wonder how genuine they are, and I’m happy for anyone to come and have a look for themselves. I’m sure that Max is happy to make the arrangements if requested. William van den Wijngaard London

  Excellent workmanship and really friendly. Max loves his craft and always happy to talk you through it if you want, which i found really reassuring. Has now done all our windows over a couple of years and they all look great.
