Slim Cavity Glazing across Oxfordshire
Getting Slim Cavity Glazing right in Oxfordshire depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local stock is dominated by Cotswold stone cottages, Georgian college-town terraces and new-build fringe estates, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Then there is river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp, which reliably produces rot behind stone reveals where water tracks in at the joint given enough seasons. 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. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
One thing that catches people out here: listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Oxfordshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Oxfordshire including Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, Abingdon and the surrounding villages. Listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres. Because river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
