Timber glazing upgrades in Colchester
Slim Cavity Units in Colchester rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Around here it is estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Add the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat to that and shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles becomes the usual trigger for replacement. Where we put the effort is narrow cavities that perform while keeping the sightline historic.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Worth knowing locally: 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.”
Verified client, Essex“Half the cost of replacement and the rooms hold heat noticeably better.”
Verified client, Essex“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”

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.
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.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
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.
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.
