Woodcote sashes, casements and older cottages
Woodcote includes older cottages, 18th and 19th century buildings, later homes, sash windows and casements. A sliding sash and an outward-opening casement need different checks around their handles and moving parts.
If a shutter catches, note whether it touches the window handle, sill, frame or another panel. We compare that contact point with the hinge line and surrounding gaps before deciding whether adjustment, component repair or restoration is appropriate. Include the whole window in your photographs so a clearance problem is not mistaken for a damaged shutter part.
