Repairs & servicing in Waltham Abbey

Around Waltham Abbey you will mostly find period town-centre houses, interwar semis and post-war estates. For period properties, repairing rather than replacing existing windows can avoid planning complications, particularly where original features are expected to be retained.

Bay windows on 1930s houses often suffer from misted units and dropped sashes, which can usually be fixed with replacement glass and hinge adjustment. Doors on modern homes that have dropped or become hard to lock usually need hinge and keep adjustment, which is quicker and less disruptive than replacing the door.

Period properties in the centre need windows designed to suit their age, while homes near the motorway often benefit from acoustic glazing. Narrow streets in the old town can make van access tricky, so we check this at the survey. Our Edmonton factory is about 5.6 miles away, a short drive across the Lee Valley.

We repair windows and doors of most types, including replacing misted glass units, faulty locks, handles, hinges and worn seals. Repairs suit homeowners, landlords and businesses whose frames are basically sound but not working properly, and can be a sensible alternative to full replacement.
