Sash window repair in Consett
What makes Sash Window Repair work in Consett is usually invisible once it is finished. Local stock is dominated by colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. 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 value is in saving the original timber wherever it is still sound, not in the timber bill.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. 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.

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
