Slim Cavity Glazing across Hampshire
Half the Slim Cavity Glazing problems we fix in Hampshire started as a sizing assumption. Most of what we survey locally is naval-era terraces, New Forest timber-framed cottages and 1960s coastal estates, which is not built to any modern module. With high wind-driven rain off the Solent in the mix, water ingress at head and jamb on exposed south-west elevations is a question of when rather than whether. What we concentrate on is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Something particular to this area: conservation stock in Winchester and Lymington usually requires slim-profile glazing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Hampshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Hampshire including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Winchester and the surrounding villages. Conservation stock in Winchester and Lymington usually requires slim-profile glazing. Because high wind-driven rain off the Solent, 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.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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.
