Secondary Glazing across Hertfordshire
People come to us about Secondary Glazing in Hertfordshire once the cheap option has already failed. You will find mostly garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing in this area, and it moves as it ages. 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. In practice that means internal glazing that leaves the original window entirely untouched.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Bear in mind for this area: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

Frequently asked questions
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.
