Traditional Putty Glazing across Kent
Traditional Putty Glazing in Kent rewards patience at the setting-out stage. The building stock is weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Set against salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, most joinery here eventually shows coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery. In practice that means genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Worth knowing locally: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Kent?
Yes. We cover the whole of Kent including Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, Dartford and the surrounding villages. Coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species. Because salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
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.
