Sash window repair in Braintree
Most Rattle and Rot Surveys enquiries we take in Braintree start with an opening that is not a standard size. Property here runs to estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The weather does the rest: the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat here, and shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles as the predictable result. Where we put the effort is an honest report, including when replacement is genuinely the better call.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Something particular to this area: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

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.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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.
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.
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.
