Sash window repair in Skipton
Rattle and Rot Surveys is one of those jobs in Skipton where the survey decides everything. The building stock is medieval York frontages, Dales stone farmhouses and Victorian coastal resorts, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Set against severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales, most joinery here eventually shows salt and wind damage at the coast, frost damage inland. Our focus on this is 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. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Bear in mind for this area: York's historic core requires close matching of historic glazing bar profiles.

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.
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.
