Sash window repair in Dorking
Sash Cord Replacement is one of those jobs in Dorking where the survey decides everything. Around here it is interwar detached stock, Arts and Crafts houses and 1930s semis, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Then there is mild but damp, with heavy tree cover holding moisture against elevations, which reliably produces sap staining and green growth on north elevations followed by joint opening given enough seasons. What we concentrate on is rebalancing weights so the sash holds at any height.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
A detail specific to this area: high-value stock where owners specify hardwood over softwood as standard.

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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
