Sash Cord Replacement across Shropshire
Sash Cord Replacement is one of those jobs in Shropshire where the survey decides everything. Local stock is dominated by medieval timber framing, Ironbridge industrial housing and border farmsteads, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. With Welsh border rainfall with high sustained humidity in the mix, fungal decay in poorly ventilated frame cavities is a question of when rather than whether. This is really a job about 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. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A detail specific to this area: one of the densest concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings in England.

Repair before replace
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 Shropshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Shropshire including Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry, Bridgnorth and the surrounding villages. One of the densest concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings in England. Because Welsh border rainfall with high sustained humidity, 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.
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.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
