What we see in Hertfordshire
Retrofit Double Glazing is one of those jobs in Hertfordshire where the survey decides everything. You are mostly dealing with garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing around here, so openings vary more than people expect. The weather does the rest: moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts here, and frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units as the predictable result. The detail we will not compromise on is reworking the rebate so a sealed unit fits without bulking the section.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
Worth knowing locally: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

“The survey showed most of the loss was around the frames, not through the glass at all.”

Do you cover Hertfordshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Hertfordshire including Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and the surrounding villages. Garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes. Because moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
