Sash window repair in Whittlesey
Half the Sash Window Repair problems we fix in Whittlesey started as a sizing assumption. Local stock is dominated by college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Then there is the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, which reliably produces shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock given enough seasons. The value is in saving the original timber wherever it is still sound, not in the timber bill.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
A detail specific to this area: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
