What we do and how we do it
There is no standard version of Site Measured Surveys in the UK, which is rather the point. You will find mostly a mix of period and modern stock in this area, and it moves as it ages. Because of the full range of UK exposure conditions, we see coating failure followed by rot at the joints more often here than in most of the country. Our focus on this is recording the building as built rather than as drawn.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A local consideration we always raise: specification should always be matched to local exposure.
Specification
- Engineered hardwood or slow-grown softwood, FSC certified
- Factory-applied microporous finish in any RAL or heritage colour
- Sealed units, slim-cavity units or single glazing with putty line
- Manufactured to survey dimensions, not to a stock size chart
- Delivered UK-wide with chain-of-custody paperwork
Made to drawing
We work from your setting-out, not a fixed catalogue. Non-standard sizes and profiles are routine.
FSC-certified stock
Chain-of-custody documentation supplied with every order for your project records.
Priced to programme
Lead times confirmed in writing at quotation and held for the life of the order.
10-year workmanship guarantee
Backed in writing on manufacture and, where we install, on installation too.

Frequently asked questions
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
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.
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 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 take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
