Conservation joinery in Caterham
Nothing about Traditional Putty Glazing in Caterham is settled until someone has been on site. With interwar detached stock, Arts and Crafts houses and 1930s semis making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Locally you are contending with mild but damp, with heavy tree cover holding moisture against elevations, so sap staining and green growth on north elevations followed by joint opening is the fault we are called out to. Our focus on this is genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
One thing that catches people out here: high-value stock where owners specify hardwood over softwood as standard.

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

Verified client, Surrey“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 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.
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 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.
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.
