One of the glories of Palmers Green are its streets of Edwardian houses, and one of the principal glories of those houses is its Edwardian woodwork, used in doors, windows and other features. But what to do if you live in an Edwardian house but the windows need replacing or refurbishing either because they're in poor condition or because you want to keep warmth in and drafts and road noise out?
Replacement windows on the Lakes Estate
The Friends of the Lakes Estate Conservation Area have recently issued a guide with advice on these issues. Though it's intended primarily for people living in the conservation area, who have particular legal obligations, there are many more owners of Edwardian houses in Palmers Green who are keen to maintain original features but need advice on what to do and where to go.
The new guide is available on the Friends of the Lakes Estate pages of this website, alongside an earlier publication with advice on improving and renovating front gardens.
