Paint Analysis and Matching across Hertfordshire
There is no standard version of Paint Analysis and Matching in Hertfordshire, which is rather the point. You are mostly dealing with garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing around here, so openings vary more than people expect. Add moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts to that and frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units becomes the usual trigger for replacement. In practice that means matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One local point to factor in: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.
Towns covered
Replication, not approximation
Profiles copied from the surviving original, section by section.
Drawings for consent

Conservation glazing
Slim-cavity units and genuine putty lines where the consent requires them.
Fabric retained where possible
We splice and repair before we replace, because the original is the point.

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.
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
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.
