Sash window repair in Downham Market
If you are looking at Sash Window Restoration in Downham Market, the timber is only half the decision. Property here runs to flint and pantile cottages, Georgian merchant houses and coastal resort stock, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Locally you are contending with exposed North Sea easterlies with salt-laden wind, so salt damage and finish erosion on east-facing coastal elevations is the fault we are called out to. What we concentrate on is taking the window back to sound timber before anything is recoated.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Bear in mind for this area: flint walls give minimal reveal, so weathering detail carries the whole load.

Verified client, NorfolkDownham Market questions
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
