Home Libraries across Hertfordshire
Getting Home Libraries right in Hertfordshire depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local stock is dominated by garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Because of moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, we see frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units more often here than in most of the country. The part that matters is shelf spans calculated so loaded shelves do not sag over time.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Bear in mind for this area: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

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.
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.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
