Conservation joinery in Hemel Hempstead
Most Slim Cavity Glazing enquiries we take in Hemel Hempstead start with an opening that is not a standard size. Local property is overwhelmingly garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The exposure here is moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, which is exactly the condition that causes frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units. The detail we will not compromise on is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
A detail specific to this area: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

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.
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.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
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.
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.
