Slim Cavity Units across South Yorkshire
Half the Slim Cavity Units problems we fix in South Yorkshire started as a sizing assumption. Local stock is dominated by steel-era terraces, interwar council stock and stone village housing, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. The exposure here is cold inland winters with prolonged damp, which is exactly the condition that causes condensation-driven decay on single-glazed units in unheated rooms. In practice that means narrow cavities that perform while keeping the sightline historic.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
A local consideration we always raise: large volumes of pre-1919 stock make sash repair the dominant enquiry.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover South Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of South Yorkshire including Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley and the surrounding villages. Large volumes of pre-1919 stock make sash repair the dominant enquiry. Because cold inland winters with prolonged damp, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
