Rattle and Rot Surveys across Oxfordshire
Rattle and Rot Surveys in Oxfordshire rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Local stock is dominated by Cotswold stone cottages, Georgian college-town terraces and new-build fringe estates, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. With river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp in the mix, rot behind stone reveals where water tracks in at the joint is a question of when rather than whether. What you are paying for 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. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Worth knowing locally: listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres.

If the original timber is sound we keep it. It is cheaper and it is better.

Brush seal systems that stop movement without making the sash stiff.

Including telling you when a window is genuinely beyond saving.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Oxfordshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Oxfordshire including Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, Abingdon and the surrounding villages. Listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres. Because river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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 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.
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.
