Sash window repair in Saffron Walden
The hard part of Sash Window Repair in Saffron Walden is not the making, it is the measuring. Local property is overwhelmingly estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Set against the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat, most joinery here eventually shows shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles. The value is in saving the original timber wherever it is still sound, not in the timber bill.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
Local factor worth flagging early: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

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.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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.
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.
