Conservation joinery in Bury St Edmunds
Half the Slim Cavity Glazing problems we fix in Bury St Edmunds started as a sizing assumption. Around here it is colour-washed timber-framed cottages, wool-town merchant houses and coastal stock, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Then there is dry easterly climate with strong coastal salt exposure, which reliably produces lime-render and timber junction failure where movement opens the seal given enough seasons. The part that matters 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. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
Bear in mind for this area: Lavenham-style timber framing needs specialist scribed repair, not replacement.

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

How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
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.
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.
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.
