Sash window repair in Canterbury
Draught Proofing in Canterbury rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Around here it is weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. salt-laden easterly wind along the coast sets the pace of decay, and coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery is how it shows up first. This is really a job about sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Something particular to this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

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 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.
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.
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 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.
