Dear all
Hello, I'm new to the forum, and just about to buy a 1900's house in Cambs. I suspect I will have quite a few questions, and I've already read quite a few threads on here - it's interesting stuff! I'm particularly enjoying the A-Z thread, although I've still only got as far as G...
To kick off my dumb questions, I'm wondering whether anyone has experience of, and can recommend, a company in the Cambs area, to look at our sash windows. We have large bays with large sashes, none of which are double glazed. As the house is on a noisy, busy road, it is quite important to us that we get this done for noise reduction as well as insulation, but in a manner that is sympathetic. They are lovely windows, with six panes in the upper sash and a single pane in the lower sash, so they are not bog-standard.
I'm sure I can hear some sucking of teeth already, but hopefully one of you experts knows someone who has the skills and integrity to advise us and reglaze/repair/replace as appropriate? Also, some indicator of cost if you've had yours done recently :?
Thanks all!
Catherine
