What we do and how we do it
If you are looking at Sash Window Painting in the UK, the timber is only half the decision. Given the a mix of period and modern stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Locally you are contending with the full range of UK exposure conditions, so coating failure followed by rot at the joints is the fault we are called out to. Where we put the effort is preparation done properly so the coating actually lasts its interval.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
A local consideration we always raise: specification should always be matched to local exposure.
Specification

- Factory-applied microporous finish in any RAL or heritage colour

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

Frequently asked questions
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
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.
