Traditional Putty Glazing across Cardiff and South Wales
Getting Traditional Putty Glazing right in Cardiff and South Wales depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Local property is overwhelmingly valleys terraces, Victorian maritime villas and civic Portland stone frontages, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. very high rainfall with strong Atlantic and Bristol Channel exposure is the local complication, and prolonged wetting decay and finish failure on valley-facing elevations is what it eventually causes. In practice that means genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
Something particular to this area: valleys terraces share a repeating bay and sash format that suits batch manufacture.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cardiff and South Wales?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cardiff and South Wales including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Barry and the surrounding villages. Valleys terraces share a repeating bay and sash format that suits batch manufacture. Because very high rainfall with strong Atlantic and Bristol Channel exposure, 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.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
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.
