Timber glazing upgrades in Looe
Slim Cavity Units is one of those jobs in Looe where the survey decides everything. With granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. What accelerates it is the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, and accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines follows sooner than owners expect. What we concentrate on is narrow cavities that perform while keeping the sightline historic.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Something particular to this area: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.

“The survey showed most of the loss was around the frames, not through the glass at all.”
Verified client, Cornwall“Half the cost of replacement and the rooms hold heat noticeably better.”
Verified client, Cornwall“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
