Timber glazing upgrades in Darlington
There is no standard version of Slim Cavity Units in Darlington, which is rather the point. The housing here is largely colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing, and that shapes what will actually fit. cold upland winters with heavy rainfall is the local complication, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood is what it eventually causes. What we concentrate on is narrow cavities that perform while keeping the sightline historic.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One thing that catches people out here: Durham's cathedral setting carries World Heritage-level design scrutiny.

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

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.
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 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 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.
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.
