Sash window repair in Watford
Most Sash Window Repair enquiries we take in Watford start with an opening that is not a standard size. The building stock is garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. The exposure here is moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, which is exactly the condition that causes frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units. In practice that means saving the original timber wherever it is still sound.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
A detail specific to this area: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
