Sash window repair in Halstead
Draught Proofing across Halstead tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. The building stock is estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat sets the pace of decay, and shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles is how it shows up first. The part that matters is sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A local consideration we always raise: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

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.
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.
