Restore smooth operation to your traditional sash windows with professional sash cord replacement services from Capital Star Glazier. We specialize in replacing worn, frayed, or broken sash cords for heritage and period homes across ACT & NSW. Whether your window sashes are difficult to open, won't stay up, or have completely broken cords, we provide expert repairs using quality cotton or synthetic sash cords that ensure reliable, long-lasting performance.

Sash cord replacement requires removing the window frame's internal trim, accessing the weight pockets, and threading new cords through the pulley system. Our experienced technicians handle this delicate process with care, ensuring your timber frames, architraves, and period features remain undamaged. We replace both cords simultaneously to ensure even operation and balance, and we always use the correct cord thickness and strength for your specific window size and weight.
