Timber windows in Histon
The Window Replacement we make for Histon is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Local property is overwhelmingly college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Locally you are contending with the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, so shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock is the fault we are called out to. The value is in swapping units without wrecking the reveals and the decoration, not in the timber bill.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
Something particular to this area: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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 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 if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
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.
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.
