Rattle and Rot Surveys across Warwickshire
What makes Rattle and Rot Surveys work in Warwickshire is usually invisible once it is finished. The housing here is largely half-timbered Tudor frontages, Regency spa terraces and canal-side workshops, and that shapes what will actually fit. Locally you are contending with inland continental swings between hard frost and summer heat, so seasonal movement opening mortice-and-tenon joints on historic frames is the fault we are called out to. 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.
A local consideration we always raise: genuine timber-framed buildings need scribed repair rather than unit replacement.
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 Warwickshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Warwickshire including Warwick, Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa and the surrounding villages. Genuine timber-framed buildings need scribed repair rather than unit replacement. Because inland continental swings between hard frost and summer heat, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
