A sash window counterbalance spring mounting arrangement for fitment into a channel section within a window jamb, comprising:

• at least two coiled ribbon springs,
• a spring support mounting comprising:
• an elongate plate like main body portion formed as a single integral component from which the at least two springs are located and supported, the main body portion having a front and rear surface, an end portion of the main body portion is curved in a direction extending from the rear surface of the main body portion such that a tip edge of the end portion of the main body portion is disposed at a position spaced from a plane of a remainder of the main body portion, the end portion providing a curved head portion for the spring support, and
• a spring support for each of said at least two coiled ribbon springs to support and locate said coiled ribbon springs to the spring support mounting, and
• a locating arrangement adapted, in use, to locate the spring support mounting within and to said channel section.
