Sash Window Spiral Balance Replacement in Worcester & Gloucester

Expert spiral balance repairs for smooth, secure sash window operation

Modern spiral balances offer a reliable way to support vertical sliding sash windows - but over time, they can wear out or lose tension, leaving your windows difficult to open or prone to slamming shut. At DRN Sash Windows, we provide specialist spiral window balance replacements for homeowners across Worcester and Gloucester, restoring smooth operation and safety without compromising on heritage character.

Whether you have modern sash windows fitted with spiral balances or your older timber windows have been retrofitted, we’ll assess, supply, and install the correct spiral balance system to suit your frame and weight class.

What Are Spiral Balance and Why Might You Need a Replacement?

Spiral balances are spring-loaded mechanisms used in sash windows instead of traditional sash cords and weights. These balances take the weight of the sash and allow it to glide open and closed with minimal effort.

Like any moving part, spiral balances wear down over time. Common signs that your spiral balances may need replacing include:

Sticky or heavy windows that don't stay open
Windows slamming shut unexpectedly
Spiral rods becoming visible or loose
Misalignment of the sash within the frame

Left unchecked, faulty spiral balances can strain your window frame and lead to additional damage. That’s why we recommend a full spiral balance replacement when these issues arise – handled professionally and safely by our experienced team.
