Sash window repair in Great Shelford
Most Sash Window Repair enquiries we take in Great Shelford start with an opening that is not a standard size. Because the area is mainly college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, no two openings measure quite the same. Locally you are contending with the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, so shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock is the fault we are called out to. What we concentrate on is saving the original timber wherever it is still sound.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
A detail specific to this area: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
