Frequently asked questions

Are previous bad sash repairs a problem?
Often yes — polyester filler over rot, wrong cord weight, mismatched parting beads. Our survey itemises each fault and quotes a corrective fixed price per sash without obliging you to redo the whole window.
How quickly can you respond to a tenant complaint?
Same-week as standard, 24-hour response on jammed sashes that prevent egress. £95 diagnostic credited toward any repair.
Do I need prior approval for rear-court sash replacement?
Usually no — rear-court elevations on Easter Road tenements are normally permitted development. Always confirmed at survey by reference to the conservation area map.
What's a typical landlord repair budget per flat?
£800-£2,400 per flat for a full sash restoration covering 4-6 windows with cord renewal, draught-proofing and any rotten timber splicing. Far cheaper than full replacement at £8,000-£14,000 per flat.
