Sash window repair in Rye
Sash Window Restoration around Rye is a different job from one street to the next. Around here it is Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. The exposure here is severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, which is exactly the condition that causes UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines. The value is in taking the window back to sound timber before anything is recoated, not in the timber bill.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Worth knowing locally: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Verified client, East SussexRye questions
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
