What we see in Essex
What makes Sash Windows work in Essex is usually invisible once it is finished. With estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat is the local complication, and shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles is what it eventually causes. In practice that means sliding sashes that run smoothly and hold position without slamming.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A local consideration we always raise: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

Do you cover Essex?
Yes. We cover the whole of Essex including Chelmsford, Colchester, Basildon, Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding villages. Low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure. Because the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat, 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.
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.
