Conservation joinery in Rayleigh
The Traditional Putty Glazing we make for Rayleigh is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Given the estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. With the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat in the mix, shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles is a question of when rather than whether. In practice that means genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
A detail specific to this area: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Essex“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Essex“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”
Verified client, EssexRayleigh questions
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.
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.
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.
