Timber Window Restoration in Launceston

Timber windows are one of the best features of older Tasmanian homes — but they’re also the first to suffer from weather, movement, and age. At Exact Carpentry, we restore, repair, and upgrade timber‑framed windows across Launceston with precision, care, and a deep understanding of local conditions.

Led by founder and principal Adam Stetin, every restoration is carried out with a focus on durability, alignment, and finish quality. Your windows won’t just look right they’ll move right, seal right, and last longer.

Why Restore Timber Windows Instead of Replacing Them

Restoring your existing timber windows is often:

  • more cost‑effective than full replacement
  • better for heritage value
  • stronger and longer‑lasting when repaired correctly
  • more sustainable than modern aluminium alternatives

Most timber windows fail because of moisture, movement, or poor past repairs not because the window is “too old”. With the right restoration, they can last decades.

Common Timber Window Problems We Fix

We repair and restore all timber window issues, including:

  • sill rot and frame decay
  • stuck or swollen sashes
  • loose or seized latches and locks
  • draughts and poor sealing
  • misaligned or jammed openings
  • cracked or loose putty
  • rattling windows in high winds
  • leaks around old glazing
  • structural reinforcement for weakened frames

If your window is sticking, leaking, or sagging we fix it.

Our Step‑By‑Step Timber Window Restoration Process

1. Comprehensive Paint Removal

We remove excess paint from the contact surfaces of the box frame and sashes to restore smooth movement.

2. Detailed Inspection & Rot Repair

We check for hidden rot, replace damaged timber, and reinforce weakened joints using high‑strength epoxy resin.

3. Pulley Wheel Servicing

We service or replace pulley wheels to ensure smooth sash operation.

4. Sash Weight Balancing

Sashes are weighed and balanced correctly so they open and close effortlessly.

5. Putty Replacement & Joint Reinforcement

Loose putty is replaced, and weak sash joints are glued, screwed, and reinforced.

6. High‑Strength Nylon Sash Cords

We install durable sash cords designed for long‑term performance in Tasmanian conditions.

7. Final Planing & Smooth Operation Check

We plane, square, and test each sash to ensure perfect movement and sealing.

Every step is carried out with precision no shortcuts, no quick fixes.

Built for Tasmanian Weather Conditions

Launceston weather can shift fast. Your windows must handle:

  • moisture
  • cold snaps
  • heat expansion
  • strong winds
  • seasonal movement

We seal, square, and finish each job to suit real Tasmanian conditions not generic mainland standards.
