Sash window repair in Dover
If Sash Window Repair in Dover were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Local property is overwhelmingly weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Then there is salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, which reliably produces coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery given enough seasons. The part that matters is saving the original timber wherever it is still sound.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
One thing that catches people out here: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

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.
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 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.
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.
