Rattle and Rot Surveys across Cornwall
Getting Rattle and Rot Surveys right in Cornwall depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Given the granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. the most severe salt and wind exposure in England sets the pace of decay, and accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines is how it shows up first. Where we put the effort is an honest report, including when replacement is genuinely the better call.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One thing that catches people out here: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.
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.
Honest condition survey
Including telling you when a window is genuinely beyond saving.
Most work in a day
Draught proofing and cord renewal are usually same-day, room by room.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cornwall?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cornwall including Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell and the surrounding villages. Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain. Because the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
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 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.
