Section Drawings for Consent across Greater London
Section Drawings for Consent in Greater London is rarely a catalogue job. Local stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and post-war infill, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Because of high pollution load and sheltered urban humidity, we see paint failure on south-facing sashes and rot at the bottom rail more often here than in most of the country. What you are paying for is drawings detailed enough for a case officer to approve first time.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One thing that catches people out here: large numbers of properties sit in conservation areas with like-for-like replacement conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Greater London?
Yes. We cover the whole of Greater London including Croydon, Bromley, Ealing, Enfield and the surrounding villages. Large numbers of properties sit in conservation areas with like-for-like replacement conditions. Because high pollution load and sheltered urban humidity, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
