Maintaining the Charm of Listed Properties in Chelmsford
Living in a listed or heritage property in Chelmsford comes with unique responsibilities – especially when it comes to window maintenance and restoration. At LN Glazing, we specialise in putty glazing, a traditional technique that not only preserves the original look of your home but also meets conservation regulations.
Why Traditional Putty Glazing Matters
Older windows, particularly those made from timber, often rely on linseed oil putty to hold in single glazing. Over time, this putty can dry out, crack, or dislodge, allowing in water and draughts. If left untreated, it can lead to more serious issues like timber rot and permanent damage to your home’s architectural integrity.
Careful Restoration with a Conservation-First Approach
At LN Glazing, we offer a careful and respectful service. We:
- Remove failing or damaged putty
- Prepare the window properly
- Replace it using traditional materials and time-tested techniques
This ensures we maintain the authentic appearance of your home while giving it renewed protection and longevity.
