Timber glazing upgrades in Cambridge
Retrofit Double Glazing in Cambridge is rarely a catalogue job. Property here runs to college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Add the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind to that and shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock becomes the usual trigger for replacement. Our focus on this is reworking the rebate so a sealed unit fits without bulking the section.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Local factor worth flagging early: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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

Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
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.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
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.
