Conservation joinery in Corby
Most Slim Cavity Glazing enquiries we take in Corby start with an opening that is not a standard size. Because the area is mainly ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, no two openings measure quite the same. Because of dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, we see seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units more often here than in most of the country. In practice that means getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Bear in mind for this area: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

Verified client, Northamptonshire“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
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 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.
