Conservation joinery in Shepshed
If you are looking at Slim Cavity Glazing in Shepshed, the timber is only half the decision. Property here runs to hosiery-era terraces, ironstone villages and large modern estates, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Because of dry inland climate with sharp seasonal swings, we see movement cracking and bead shrinkage from repeated wet-dry cycling more often here than in most of the country. What you are paying for is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Something particular to this area: ironstone villages have distinctive mullion proportions worth matching.

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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
