"I contracted Seamus Martin to repair and renovate 20 sash windows and frames in a former Garda Barracks, now converted to offices. Initially Seamus and his team did a thorough and honest appraisal of the work required on all the windows and provided a very competitive and fair quotation. In addition, Seamus was able to be flexible and adaptable in planning the work schedule so as to cause minimum disruption to the building's tenants.
Now all the windows are as new. No more rattling, no more drafts, no more rotten timbers. And not only do they look great, the tenants are delighted with the reduction in heat loss and also outside traffic noise. Seamus and his team were very personable, extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Seamus and his team for any sash window project."

"This note is just to recognise the superb work that yourself and your company, Sash Window Repairs, carried out in our house here in Synge St in Dublin.
From the initial contact through construction/repair work to final inspection, it was a joy to deal with a contractor who met every deadline, performed to the highest standards, and was extremely courteous at all times in any dealings. Needless to say we are delighted, both aesthetically and practically, with the finished work.
Thanks once again for all your help."

"Just a note to thank you so much for your wonderful work on our home in Cambridge Terrace. The house is a Victorian building and a Protected Structure. The sash windows are an integral part of the house and need to be tended with great care. Your excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail ensured that they are now back to their former glory. It is such a pleasure to have windows that are fully functioning and all repair work invisible.
We really appreciate your dedication in completing the work on time and to budget; including the early morning starts from Monaghan! It was a pleasure to work with you and to see your skill at close quarters.
Should you wish me talk to any prospective customers about the work I will be glad to do so."

"We have recommended master craftsman Seamus Martin on a variety of large, medium and small projects over the past 8 years. We and our clients have been delighted with the quality of work carried out and the ability of Seamus to restore original timber sash windows of all periods to their former glory. His dedicated and enthusiastic craftsmanship enables the retention of original quality timber work which adds to the aesthetic of the building and enhances its value. We have no reservation in recommending Seamus Martin on any period project or location."

"All our sash windows were leaking, rotton, rattley, and drafty when we moved in. We went to Irish Sash Window Repairs with the difficult brief of renovating all the windows to get them back to full working order while conserving as much of the original fabric of the windows as possible.
Some windows needed minimal intervention but others needed entire bottom rails and numerous glazing bars replaced, architraves repaired and window frames reset and repointed. Seamus Martin and his team did a beautiful job bringing all our windows back to their original condition and also installed their own draft-proofing system giving us a dry, warm, secure and draft free house.
We now have a full set of perfectly working original sash windows looking and operating as well if not better than the day they were installed in 1906."
Bill O'Connor
"I would highly recommend Seamus Martin for specialist resorative work. He recently worked on restoring windows in my sisters house at Coastguard Stations, Dun Laoghaire, Co.Dublin, which is a listed building. The difference in comfort is fantastic, it was a pleasure to work with Seamus. For a fast and friendly service call Seamus."
