Common problems with sash windows in Hertford

The longevity of sash windows is remarkable, but they’re not indestructible. As the years go by, they can become damaged in several ways. In older properties, the frames of sash windows may begin to stick. This is usually a result of a misalignment caused by warping or repainting.

Sometimes the window’s weighting system has become imbalanced, or the glass has become foggy. Wooden frames are also vulnerable to rot, and this can lead to structural weakness. There is always the risk of drafts as well. Whatever the problem, there’s no need to worry. We know just how to fix it.

Opting for a restoration means that your property doesn’t lose its historic character, and, thanks to our specialised techniques and first-rate materials, your windows should last for many years to come.

We start every sash window repair by working out the best solution. This might mean using our high-performance Epoxy Repair Compound or replacing the wood with our long-lasting Accoya timer, chosen for its unbeatable stability.

Sash window renovation in Hertford

In some cases, your sash windows may not be broken at all. They might just need an upgrade, perhaps to get rid of a draft, or to prevent them from sticking.

Wherever you are in Hertford, we can come to you. We’ll identify the problem and recommend the best way to fix it. We are the only provider of the Solutions Brush Pile System. This is a much better alternative to plastic parting beads or double-sided tape. These solutions only work in the short term, or can ruin the look of the property. Our specialised system is long-lasting and far less obtrusive.

Better still, it can reduce your energy bills by eliminating draughts. It has also been shown to cut exterior noise by half, while keeping your sash windows smooth and rattle-free.

Hertford sash window replacement

We always prefer to repair the timber frames of original sash windows, but this isn’t always possible. Sometimes, the best option will be to replace your sash windows with replicas. Building regulations in some parts of Hertford might require you to get new sash windows, or you might have your own reasons for wanting them.

Whatever the circumstances, we can produce and fit brand-new replica sash windows to the highest technical standard. We make all of our sash windows from the finest Accoya timber, our specially designed Solutions Brush Pile System and gas-filled double glazing. We can match these to the style of your choice, and can even include box frames with the cords, weights, and pulley wheels found in traditional fittings.

Luckily, we are well-versed in all types of sash windows, allowing us to find the perfect solution every time.
