Slim Cavity Glazing across Tyne and Wear
Slim Cavity Glazing around Tyne and Wear is a different job from one street to the next. You are mostly dealing with Tyneside flats, Georgian Grainger Town frontages and coastal terraces around here, so openings vary more than people expect. The exposure here is cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, which is exactly the condition that causes wind-driven rain penetration and rapid coating loss on seaward elevations. What you are paying for is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A detail specific to this area: Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We cover the whole of Tyne and Wear including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields and the surrounding villages. Tyneside flat stock has a distinctive paired-door detail worth replicating exactly. Because cold North Sea exposure with high sustained wind, 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.
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.
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.
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.
