Conservation joinery in Oxted
Slim Cavity Glazing is one of those jobs in Oxted where the survey decides everything. The building stock is interwar detached stock, Arts and Crafts houses and 1930s semis, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Because of mild but damp, with heavy tree cover holding moisture against elevations, we see sap staining and green growth on north elevations followed by joint opening more often here than in most of the country. The detail we will not compromise on is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
One thing that catches people out here: high-value stock where owners specify hardwood over softwood as standard.

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

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
