Timber glazing upgrades in St Albans
Slim Cavity Units in St Albans rewards patience at the setting-out stage. With garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. The other factor is moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, which is why frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units is the most common reason people call us. In practice that means narrow cavities that perform while keeping the sightline historic.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Worth knowing locally: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

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

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.
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.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
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.
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.
