Remove the existing single-glazed sashes from ten sash and case windows in the flat and replace them with timber double-glazed sashes of the same size, appearance and opening mechanism (one-over-one sash windows) and replace the window sills with new timber half sills as required. This is to improve insulation and because the wood in some of the existing sills and sashes is starting to rot.
