East Sussex is a county of Regency terraces in Brighton and Hove, weatherboard cottages and Victorian seaside stock. That is exactly the kind of building stock a sash window has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every sash window we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in East Sussex, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Timber Sash Windows in East Sussex — common questions
What timber do you use?
Accoya as standard for painted sashes — it is dimensionally very stable, which matters in a component that has to slide. European redwood is available at lower cost with a shorter finish life.
Will the new windows still rattle?
No. The brush seals take up the clearance the sashes need to slide, so they are quiet in wind while still moving freely.
Can traditional sash windows be double glazed?
Yes. Slim-profile double glazed units from 11mm fit into a properly made sash without the sightlines going heavy. They weigh more, so the counterweights are recalculated and the cords upgraded.
Cords and weights, or spiral balances?
Cords and weights for a traditional box sash — they are repairable indefinitely and feel right. Spiral balances suit a slimmer box and are the only option where there is no weight pocket, but they wear out and need replacing.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
