I had large sash windows refurbished; cords, rotten wood replaced, glass re-puttyed, draught-proofed etc etc and the expert joiner who did it estimated 4-500 per window. It's quite a big undertaking as the window has to come out of it's frame and remember you'll have to paint as well. However, my feeling was it was well worth it - they move near silently now and with minimal effort, are more soundproofed, do not rattle and the place is markedly warmer. Cheaper than replacing and current thinking suggests done well they are pretty efficient. And they look great. This was down on the S coast so I can't recommend the chap but my view was get a good joiner to do it who can show you examples of other sashes he/she'd repaired.

Al the time consuming bits - taking out bits of rotten wood, replacing,patching, reputtying etc. It's a bay window
