Slim Cavity Units across Tyne and Wear
If Slim Cavity Units in Tyne and Wear were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Because the area is mainly Tyneside flats, Georgian Grainger Town frontages and coastal terraces, no two openings measure quite the same. The other factor is cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, which is why wind-driven rain penetration and rapid coating loss on seaward elevations is the most common reason people call us. This is really a job about 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. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Worth knowing locally: Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We cover the whole of Tyne and Wear including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields and the surrounding villages. Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly. Because cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
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 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.
