Timber glazing upgrades in Halstead
Half the Slim Cavity Units problems we fix in Halstead started as a sizing assumption. The housing here is largely estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, and that shapes what will actually fit. Set against the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat, most joinery here eventually shows shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles. What you are paying for is narrow cavities that perform while keeping the sightline historic.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. 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.”

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

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.
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.
