What we see in County Durham
If you are looking at Sash Window Repair in County Durham, the timber is only half the decision. Given the colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. cold upland winters with heavy rainfall is the local complication, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood is what it eventually causes. The part that matters is saving the original timber wherever it is still sound.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Something particular to this area: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

Do you cover County Durham?
Yes. We cover the whole of County Durham including Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and the surrounding villages. Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny. Because cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
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.
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.
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.
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.
