A large project as part of a house renovation in Finchingfield Essex included sash window restoration & draught proofing, external timber restoration of frames, fascias and features, casement door draught proofing, new casement windows and replacement windows - showcasing the full services from London & Herts Sash Windows.


A large project on a house that was undergoing a renovation, the team covered all aspects of London & Herts Sash Window’s services, including sash and casement restoration, draught proofing of sash windows, casement windows and doors, timber restoration of external timber, including timber facias, finials and bay windows.

The team also installed a new casement window to replace a newer addition to the house that wasn’t in keeping with the rest of the building.

Much of the work here involved restoring timber throughout the property that hadn’t been touched for many years, with very large areas of rot.  The team removed all rotten timber throughout a very large bay window of around 30 feet high, plus large sections of rot across window sills, bottoms of sash windows, fascias and finials.

All new timber was installed to match like for like with the removed sections, and was used in conjunction with resin.

A large and generally cold house, the draught proofing was essential, and every timber window and timber door in the property was fully draught proofed making a massive difference to the temperature and loss of heat across the building.

The team also carried out work to draught proof internal loft doors, replacement of broken and dated glass and fitted new locks and latches across the entire properties sash and casement windows.

“The team from London and Herts undertook the work to our listed house with great skill, care and enthusiasm. With more than thirty windows and doors which had been neglected for many years, we knew that this would be a challenging task. We were very impressed with their approach; unexpected problems were met with smart solutions and lateral thinking and without excessive additional costs. The team also co-ordinated well with our other tradesmen working on other aspects of the project and were friendly and approachable throughout.

We are now really feeling the benefits of our investment, with refurbished doors, sash and casement windows which not only look extremely smart but are draught-free and this has made a huge difference to heat retention and the feeling of comfort within the house.”
