Sash Cord Replacement across Gloucestershire
Sash Cord Replacement across Gloucestershire tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Around here it is Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Then there is high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, which reliably produces decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals given enough seasons. In practice that means rebalancing weights so the sash holds at any height.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
A detail specific to this area: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Gloucestershire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Gloucestershire including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester and the surrounding villages. Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width. Because high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
