Sash Cord Replacement across Kent
Sash Cord Replacement around Kent is a different job from one street to the next. With weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. salt-laden easterly wind along the coast is the local complication, and coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery is what it eventually causes. The detail we will not compromise on is 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. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
A local consideration we always raise: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.
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 Kent?
Yes. We cover the whole of Kent including Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, Dartford and the surrounding villages. Coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species. Because salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
