Timber glazing upgrades in Ashbourne
We take a fair volume of Thermal Survey work across Ashbourne, and almost none of it repeats. You will find mostly Peak District gritstone cottages, mill housing and Georgian spa stock in this area, and it moves as it ages. Locally you are contending with upland cold with heavy snow loading and hard frost, so frost heave damage and swelling on unbalanced-finish joinery is the fault we are called out to. The detail we will not compromise on is measuring where heat is going before anyone recommends a spend.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
A local consideration we always raise: Peak Park properties face some of the tightest external alteration controls in England.

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

Verified client, Derbyshire“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”

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.
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.
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.
