Trusted Timber Sash Window Repair Watford
Watford grew rapidly in the latter half of the 19th century once the railway made London an easy run. Much of the housing stock was terraced and semi-detached, with timber box sash windows. Sash Window Preservation offers sash window repair in Watford for homeowners who wish to keep their original sashes working.
Watford Sash window rot repair and rebuilds
Sashes here suffer from the same handful of problems. Most of these are due to sashes being old and repainted rather than serious decay. Cords wear through, pulleys stop turning, and staff and parting beads get painted so solidly that the sashes become immovable. Draughts get in around worn meeting rails. Rot is usually found low down on the sill and bottom rail.
All of these problems can be repaired on site where possible. Smaller areas of rot are cut back to sound timber, treated and rebuilt using Repair Care two-part epoxy resin, with spliced timber repairs using traditional carpentry where more wood has gone.
The benefits of repairing sash windows in Watford
Many of the original windows remain and are often hidden under layers of paint. Rickmansworth and Croxley Green have older cores of Georgian and Victorian housing, while Kings Langley has a historic high street near the Grand Union Canal. A Georgian sash is built differently from a late Victorian sash and as such requires different replacement parts. Our aim is to save as much as possible before anything new is made; where a sash is past saving, a replacement is made to match in Accoya timber in our own Norwich workshop.
We travel down from Norwich to cover the whole of the Watford area. Specialising in period windows since 2010, Sash Window Preservation is CERTASS qualified and a CHAS accredited contractor. Our teams clean up every evening and leave windows secure overnight.
