Sash window repair in Chatham
Splice and Scarf Repair is one of those jobs in Chatham where the survey decides everything. Property here runs to weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Because of salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, we see coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery more often here than in most of the country. The detail we will not compromise on is cutting out only the decayed section and letting in new timber.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Worth knowing locally: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

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.
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 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.
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.
