Traditional Putty Glazing across Norfolk
Traditional Putty Glazing around Norfolk is a different job from one street to the next. Local property is overwhelmingly flint and pantile cottages, Georgian merchant houses and coastal resort stock, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. With exposed North Sea easterlies with salt-laden wind in the mix, salt damage and finish erosion on east-facing coastal elevations is a question of when rather than whether. Everything we do here comes back to genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
Local factor worth flagging early: flint walls give minimal reveal, so weathering detail carries the whole load.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Norfolk?
Yes. We cover the whole of Norfolk including Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Thetford and the surrounding villages. Flint walls give minimal reveal, so weathering detail carries the whole load. Because exposed North Sea easterlies with salt-laden wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
