Conservation joinery in Alford
The Slim Cavity Glazing we make for Alford is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Most of what we survey locally is Georgian Stamford limestone, fenland farmhouses and coastal resort bungalows, which is not built to any modern module. The exposure here is low rainfall with severe exposed easterly wind off the North Sea, which is exactly the condition that causes wind-driven rain ingress and sand abrasion on coastal finishes. What we concentrate on is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
A detail specific to this area: Stamford is one of England's most tightly controlled conservation towns.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
