Windows & Doors Installer in Watford, Hertfordshire

Windows & Doors in Watford

Watford is a large town in south-west Hertfordshire with its own borough council, Watford Borough Council, led by a directly elected mayor. It grew rapidly in the Victorian era as new residents moved out from London, and today the WD17, WD18, WD19, WD24 and WD25 postcodes cover the town centre, Cassiobury and Nascot Wood, West Watford, Oxhey, North Watford, Garston and Leavesden. Neighbouring Bushey, including Bushey Heath, has the WD23 postcode but is a separate town governed by Hertsmere Borough Council. Watford Junction has West Coast Main Line and London Overground services, the Metropolitan line terminates at Watford station beside Cassiobury Park, and Bushey station, which stands in Oxhey, serves both communities. The town's housing runs from Victorian terraces and villas to inter-war suburban estates and modern town-centre flats, so one street can need a sliding sash and the next a full-house casement replacement. Vitrum Solutions provides free, no-obligation quotations across Watford and Bushey from our base in Uxbridge, West London, and every installation is FENSA registered with a 10-year CPA insurance-backed guarantee.

Property Types in Watford

Nascot and Oxhey are lined with mid to late Victorian houses: two-storey terraces in yellow London stock brick, with larger detached and semi-detached villas, most of which originally had timber sliding sash windows. Cassiobury was built mainly in the 1930s on former estate parkland, under covenants that allowed only good-quality detached or semi-detached houses. The Harebreaks estate in North Watford was built as council housing in the 1920s, and modern flats have replaced former industrial sites such as the old Scammell works. Bushey grew mostly between 1860 and 1960, with houses on the higher ground of Bushey Heath.
