Slim Cavity Glazing across Lancashire
Slim Cavity Glazing in Lancashire rewards patience at the setting-out stage. You will find mostly cotton-town terraces, Pennine stone cottages and Fylde coast resort stock in this area, and it moves as it ages. The exposure here is high rainfall inland and severe wind exposure on the Fylde coast, which is exactly the condition that causes wind-driven rain penetration at meeting rails and sill joints. What you are paying for is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A local consideration we always raise: coastal Fylde stock needs the same specification discipline as the South West.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Lancashire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Lancashire including Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn, Burnley and the surrounding villages. Coastal Fylde stock needs the same specification discipline as the South West. Because high rainfall inland and severe wind exposure on the Fylde coast, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
