Project Story
A stunning transformation of a Grade II listed Victorian terrace in Hertford's historic Old Town. The original timber sash windows had deteriorated beyond repair, with severe rot and broken sash cords making them impossible to open safely. Working within conservation area guidelines, we installed precision-engineered uPVC sliding sash windows that perfectly replicate the original proportions and glazing bar patterns. The new windows feature authentic Georgian glazing bars, traditional hardware, and period-appropriate white finish that maintains the property's historic character while delivering modern thermal performance and security.
Challenges
- Conservation area compliance
- Listed building consent requirements
- Matching original proportions exactly
- Working around existing internal shutters
Results
- 40% reduction in heating costs
- Eliminated drafts and noise
- Maintained period character
- Increased property value by £15,000
What Our Customer Says
