Conservation joinery in North Shields
If Traditional Putty Glazing in North Shields were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Most of what we survey locally is Tyneside flats, Georgian Grainger Town frontages and coastal terraces, which is not built to any modern module. The other factor is cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, which is why wind-driven rain penetration and rapid coating loss on seaward elevations is the most common reason people call us. What you are paying for is genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Bear in mind for this area: Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Tyne and Wear“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Tyne and Wear“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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 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 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.
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
