Conservation joinery in Forest Row
The Sash Window Replication we make for Forest Row is set out from a survey, not a size chart. With Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Locally you are contending with severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, so UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines is the fault we are called out to. The detail we will not compromise on is copying the surviving original rather than approximating it.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
One thing that catches people out here: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”

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.
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 guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
