Sash window repair in Ilminster
Nothing about Rattle and Rot Surveys in Ilminster is settled until someone has been on site. Most of what we survey locally is Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock, which is not built to any modern module. The other factor is very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, which is why prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding is the most common reason people call us. What you are paying for 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. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
One local point to factor in: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

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 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.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
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.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
