Sash window repair in Hitchin
Nothing about Draught Proofing in Hitchin is settled until someone has been on site. Given the garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. The other factor is moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, which is why frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units is the most common reason people call us. This is really a job about sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
A local consideration we always raise: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
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.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
