Sash window repair in Portland
Most Sash Window Painting enquiries we take in Portland start with an opening that is not a standard size. You will find mostly Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages in this area, and it moves as it ages. Then there is exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, which reliably produces rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock given enough seasons. Everything we do here comes back to preparation done properly so the coating actually lasts its interval.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Local factor worth flagging early: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

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 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.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
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.
