Hardwood Window Repairs in Hereford
Most rot is localised. Splicing in new hardwood and re-finishing is normally a third of the cost of replacing the whole window.
If you have been quoted for hardwood window repairs in Hereford and the price looked suspiciously round, it was almost certainly a standard size with a filler piece. We do not work that way.
What is included
- Weathered cills with a proper drip groove, so water leaves the timber instead of tracking back under it.
- Trickle ventilation designed into the head where Building Regulations require it, not drilled in afterwards.
- Engineered laminated sections on anything over 1.2m, which resist bowing far better than solid stock.
- Weathered cills with a proper drip groove, so water leaves the timber instead of tracking back under it.
We treat repairs in Hereford as joinery rather than a product line. That means real sections, real ironmongery and a finish specified for the exposure the building actually gets.
If you are working to a planning or listed building condition in Herefordshire, send us the wording — we will specify to it and provide the drawings you need.

Questions
Can you fit trickle vents?
Where Building Regulations require background ventilation, we design it into the head of the frame at manufacture. That looks far better and performs far better than a vent drilled through a finished frame on site.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent turns on detail — sightlines, glazing bar sections, opening method and glass type. We survey the existing joinery, record the profiles and produce drawings you can submit. We will not quote a detail we know will not pass.
How much maintenance do they need?
Far less than people expect. Wash the frames twice a year, inspect the finish annually, and expect to recoat exposed elevations every eight to ten years. Sheltered elevations often go considerably longer. Modern micro-porous coatings are a different product entirely from the gloss paints that gave timber its reputation.
Which hardwood should I choose?
It depends on the finish. For painted work, Idigbo and Accoya are excellent — stable, even-grained and superb paint substrates. For a stained or oiled finish where the grain is meant to show, European oak and Sapele are the usual choices. We will recommend a species at survey based on your finish and exposure.
