Timber glazing upgrades in Bishopston
Ask three firms about Secondary Glazing in Bishopston and you will get three different answers. Local property is overwhelmingly Georgian Clifton terraces, Victorian bay-fronted streets and converted warehouses, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Set against mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, most joinery here eventually shows moss and algae growth followed by paint blistering on shaded elevations. In practice that means internal glazing that leaves the original window entirely untouched.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One local point to factor in: Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication.

“The survey showed most of the loss was around the frames, not through the glass at all.”

Verified client, Bristol“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”
Verified client, BristolBishopston questions
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.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
