Sash window repair in St Ives
Ask three firms about Rattle and Rot Surveys in St Ives and you will get three different answers. Most of what we survey locally is granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds, which is not built to any modern module. The exposure here is the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, which is exactly the condition that causes accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines. The part that matters is an honest report, including when replacement is genuinely the better call.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
A local consideration we always raise: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.

Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
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.
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.
