Timber glazing upgrades in Braintree
Most Thermal Survey enquiries we take in Braintree start with an opening that is not a standard size. Property here runs to estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. With the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat in the mix, shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles is a question of when rather than whether. This is really a job about measuring where heat is going before anyone recommends a spend.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Something particular to this area: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

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

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.
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.
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
