Sash window repair in Wolsingham
Splice and Scarf Repair in Wolsingham is rarely a catalogue job. The building stock is colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. 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. The value is in cutting out only the decayed section and letting in new timber, not in the timber bill.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Something particular to this area: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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.
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 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.
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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
