Conservation joinery in Berkeley
If you are looking at Traditional Putty Glazing in Berkeley, the timber is only half the decision. You are mostly dealing with Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces around here, so openings vary more than people expect. Then there is high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, which reliably produces decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals given enough seasons. The detail we will not compromise on is genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One local point to factor in: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

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, Gloucestershire“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Gloucestershire“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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 if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
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.
