Slim Cavity Glazing across Bristol
The hard part of Slim Cavity Glazing in Bristol is not the making, it is the measuring. The building stock is Georgian Clifton terraces, Victorian bay-fronted streets and converted warehouses, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost sets the pace of decay, and moss and algae growth followed by paint blistering on shaded elevations is how it shows up first. The value is in getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out, not in the timber bill.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Bear in mind for this area: Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Bristol?
Yes. We cover the whole of Bristol including Bristol, Clifton, Bedminster, Horfield and the surrounding villages. Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication. Because mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
