Timber glazing upgrades in Seaham
The Trickle Vents and Ventilation we make for Seaham is set out from a survey, not a size chart. You will find mostly colliery terraces, Georgian Durham city stock and Pennine stone housing in this area, and it moves as it ages. The weather does the rest: cold upland winters with heavy rainfall here, and frost and saturation damage on unmaintained painted softwood as the predictable result. Where we put the effort is keeping background ventilation compliant once you seal a house up.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Local factor worth flagging early: 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.”

Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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.
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.
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.
