Sash window repair in Rochester
Secondary Glazing in Rochester rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Local property is overwhelmingly weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The exposure here is salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, which is exactly the condition that causes coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery. Everything we do here comes back to internal glazing that improves comfort without touching the original.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
A detail specific to this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
