Traditional Putty Glazing across Northumberland
Most Traditional Putty Glazing enquiries we take in Northumberland start with an opening that is not a standard size. You will find mostly border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages in this area, and it moves as it ages. the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England sets the pace of decay, and combined frost and salt damage stripping finishes within a few seasons is how it shows up first. Everything we do here comes back to 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. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One thing that catches people out here: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Northumberland?
Yes. We cover the whole of Northumberland including Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington, Morpeth and the surrounding villages. Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings. Because the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England, 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.
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.
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.
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.
