Conservation joinery in Chippenham
Slim Cavity Glazing in Chippenham rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Around here it is chalk-downland cob and thatch, Bath stone terraces and garrison housing, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. With exposed downland wind with driving rain in the mix, wind-driven water forced past worn weatherseals is a question of when rather than whether. Where we put the effort is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Worth knowing locally: cob and thatch properties need breathable finishes rather than film-forming coatings.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
