Secondary Glazing across Cumbria
Half the Secondary Glazing problems we fix in Cumbria started as a sizing assumption. Around here it is Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Set against the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, most joinery here eventually shows sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles. Where we put the effort is internal glazing that leaves the original window entirely untouched.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A local consideration we always raise: Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys.
Towns covered
Keep the joinery you have
Upgrade performance without throwing away sound timber windows.

Typically a fraction of the cost of new units, with much of the benefit.
Measured before recommended
We find where the heat is actually going before suggesting a spend.
Ventilation kept compliant
Sealing a house up without creating a condensation problem.
What clients tell us
Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The survey showed most of the loss was around the frames, not through the glass at all.”
Verified client, Cumbria“Half the cost of replacement and the rooms hold heat noticeably better.”
Verified client, Cumbria“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cumbria?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cumbria including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Whitehaven and the surrounding villages. Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys. Because the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
