Sash window repair in Alnwick
What makes Rattle and Rot Surveys work in Alnwick is usually invisible once it is finished. You are mostly dealing with border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages around here, so openings vary more than people expect. the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England is the local complication, and combined frost and salt damage stripping finishes within a few seasons is what it eventually causes. 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. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One thing that catches people out here: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

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.
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.
