Given the bitter cold spell, with temperatures constantly below freezing even during the day, Buckinghamshire property owners who have any windows or doors that are not double glazed or triple glazed with the latest “A” rated thermally efficient windows must frankly be mad. Met Office records prove that this Winter the coldest place in the UK in is Chesham in Bucks where temperatures dropped to -17.8 degrees celsius on Saturday 11th February 2012.
