The houses in Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth has an old town centre around Church Street and the High Street with Georgian and earlier houses, Victorian villas and terraces towards the station and along the canal, and the leafy Edwardian and interwar streets of Moor Park, Croxley Green and Chorleywood nearby. Timber sashes are common across all the pre-war housing.
What usually goes wrong
Older town-centre sashes need careful joinery to slim bars and old glass. Victorian houses have the standard rot at sills and bottom rails, worn pulleys and perished cords. Larger Edwardian and interwar houses in Moor Park and Chorleywood have heavy sashes and painted-shut top lights, and draughts are the most common complaint everywhere.
Planning and conservation
Rickmansworth Town and parts of Chorleywood and Croxley Green are conservation areas, and the old town has listed buildings. Repairs and draught-proofing of existing windows need no consent. For replacement sashes in a conservation area or on a listed house, check with Three Rivers District Council first.
