Traditional Putty Glazing across East Sussex
Ask three firms about Traditional Putty Glazing in East Sussex and you will get three different answers. Most of what we survey locally is Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, which is not built to any modern module. The other factor is severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, which is why UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines is the most common reason people call us. What you are paying for is genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One local point to factor in: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover East Sussex?
Yes. We cover the whole of East Sussex including Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings and the surrounding villages. Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery. Because severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, 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 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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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.
