Traditional Putty Glazing across Northamptonshire
We take a fair volume of Traditional Putty Glazing work across Northamptonshire, and almost none of it repeats. Given the ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. The other factor is dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, which is why seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units is the most common reason people call us. The value is in genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one, not in the timber bill.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
Worth knowing locally: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Northamptonshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Northamptonshire including Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and the surrounding villages. Ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells. Because dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, 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.
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.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
