Cottage Windows across Essex
If Cottage Windows in Essex were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Most of what we survey locally is estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, which is not built to any modern module. With the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat in the mix, shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles is a question of when rather than whether. Where we put the effort is small-pane work where the glazing bar width decides whether it looks right.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
Local factor worth flagging early: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

Frequently asked questions
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.
