| In
Bristol, Cheltenham and Stroud and surrounding
local areas a sash window service costs from £59.99
for the lower PAIR of sash cords, and £89.99
for both upper and lower pairs of cord (full window
service see 'service'
for details). Add £10 more per
foot for windows over 6' high or wide.
This
price includes all the basic service materials
and cords: but EXCLUDES
pulleys, add weights, parting bead, staff bead or other
materials if these are required. Nearly all sash windows
require a few pounds of add weight if some of the glass
has been changed during the history of the window and
most windows will be fitted with replacement parting
bead as the build up of paint inhibits free movement
of the sashes. We use a specially produced 28mm wide
bead giving extra draught reducing benefits while retaining
the orignal specification. The average price
for a full service for a 6' window with parting bead
and add weight included is around £115.00 + VAT.
The sash cords (the weakest part of the mechanism) last
in the region of 20 years so if the window is painted
properly you should not need to service the windows
more frequently than this.
PLEASE
NOTE: This is the service price only - if you have more
complicated problems (e.g. windows do not fit, broken
glass, broken or rotten wood etc,.) we will advise of
the expected cost prior to starting work. Any repairs
or adjustments to the sashes or their frames is additional
and is charged at £35 per hour to the nearest
15 minutes. |
