Sash window repair in St Albans
The hard part of Draught Proofing in St Albans is not the making, it is the measuring. Local stock is dominated by garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. With moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts in the mix, frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units is a question of when rather than whether. What we concentrate on is sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Bear in mind for this area: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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.
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 guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
