Traditional Putty Glazing across Gloucestershire
Traditional Putty Glazing in Gloucestershire rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Most of what we survey locally is Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, which is not built to any modern module. The other factor is high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, which is why decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals is the most common reason people call us. In practice that means genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Bear in mind for this area: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Gloucestershire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Gloucestershire including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester and the surrounding villages. Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width. Because high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
