Traditional Putty Glazing across Herefordshire
Traditional Putty Glazing in Herefordshire rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Local stock is dominated by black-and-white villages, cider-farm outbuildings and rural stone cottages, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Because of wet westerly weather and long damp winters, we see sustained wetting decay at ground-contact and threshold level more often here than in most of the country. The value is in genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one, not in the timber bill.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Worth knowing locally: rural properties often need full frame renewal rather than piecemeal repair.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Herefordshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Herefordshire including Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury and the surrounding villages. Rural properties often need full frame renewal rather than piecemeal repair. Because wet westerly weather and long damp winters, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
