Sash window repair in Barnard Castle
Half the Rattle and Rot Surveys problems we fix in Barnard Castle started as a sizing assumption. You will find mostly colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing in this area, and it moves as it ages. What accelerates it is cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood follows sooner than owners expect. The detail we will not compromise on is an honest report, including when replacement is genuinely the better call.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
One local point to factor in: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice 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.
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.
