Sash window repair in Tunbridge Wells
The Rattle and Rot Surveys we make for Tunbridge Wells is set out from a survey, not a size chart. You will find mostly weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces in this area, and it moves as it ages. Set against salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, most joinery here eventually shows coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery. This is really a job about an honest report, including when replacement is genuinely the better call.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A detail specific to this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

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.
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 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.
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 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.
