Timber glazing upgrades in York
We take a fair volume of Retrofit Double Glazing work across York, and almost none of it repeats. Local stock is dominated by medieval York frontages, Dales stone farmhouses and Victorian coastal resorts, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Locally you are contending with severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales, so salt and wind damage at the coast, frost damage inland is the fault we are called out to. Our focus on this is reworking the rebate so a sealed unit fits without bulking the section.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Local factor worth flagging early: York's historic core requires close matching of historic glazing bar profiles.

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

Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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 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.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
