Sash window repair in Chester-le-Street
People come to us about Draught Proofing in Chester-le-Street once the cheap option has already failed. With colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Add cold upland winters with heavy rainfall to that and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood becomes the usual trigger for replacement. The part that matters is sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
A local consideration we always raise: 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.
