Addington has a variety of property ages and types, from mid-century housing on the larger estates to cottages and older homes near the village green and greenbelt edge. Using an unqualified contractor on any of these properties carries real risk. Incorrect glass specification, poorly sealed frames, or inadequate installation can result in draughts, condensation between panes, reduced security, and in some cases structural damage to the frame itself. For period properties with timber frames, the wrong approach can also cause irreversible damage to original joinery that is costly to restore.
Delaying a glazing repair is also a significant risk, particularly given the weather exposure that properties on the southern edge of Greater London can experience. A cracked or poorly sealed window pane allows moisture ingress, which can cause rot in timber frames, corrosion in aluminium frames, and long-term damage to interior walls and window surrounds. For Double Glazing in particular, a failed unit seal means the insulating gas between the panes has escaped, reducing thermal efficiency and increasing your energy costs until the unit is replaced. Montrose Glass is ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 accredited, which means every job is carried out to a verified quality and safety standard, giving you confidence that the work will last.
