Rattle and Rot Surveys across Bristol
Rattle and Rot Surveys around Bristol is a different job from one street to the next. You will find mostly Georgian Clifton terraces, Victorian bay-fronted streets and converted warehouses in this area, and it moves as it ages. Set against mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, most joinery here eventually shows moss and algae growth followed by paint blistering on shaded elevations. Our focus on this is an honest report, including when replacement is genuinely the better call.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A local consideration we always raise: Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication.
Towns covered
Repair before replace
If the original timber is sound we keep it. It is cheaper and it is better.
Draughts and rattle gone
Brush seal systems that stop movement without making the sash stiff.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Bristol?
Yes. We cover the whole of Bristol including Bristol, Clifton, Bedminster, Horfield and the surrounding villages. Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication. Because mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
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.
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.
