Sash window repair in Bishop Auckland
The Sash Window Restoration we make for Bishop Auckland is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Around here it is colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. The exposure here is cold upland winters with heavy rainfall, which is exactly the condition that causes frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood. Everything we do here comes back to taking the window back to sound timber before anything is recoated.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
A local consideration we always raise: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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.
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.
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.
