Slim Cavity Units across Cambridgeshire
Slim Cavity Units around Cambridgeshire is a different job from one street to the next. You will find mostly college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth in this area, and it moves as it ages. The weather does the rest: the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind here, and shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock as the predictable result. What we concentrate on 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. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Local factor worth flagging early: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cambridgeshire including Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely and the surrounding villages. College and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication. Because the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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 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 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 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.
