Interwar-property full-house replacement in Pontyclun

The reason Pontyclun homeowners with a 1930s semi-detached search for full-house replacement specifically — rather than just "windows" or "doors" — is that spec choice actually matters here. The two-storey bay has been cheaply re-glazed with an under-sized profile that reads visibly wrong is the usual driver. Our route runs CF72 weekly, so a survey rarely sits in the diary more than a week. Vaulted internal ceilings mean the crew works off a small tower for gable glazing — ground protection sheeting mandatory. Off-street parking makes van access straightforward — we can stage glass in the driveway rather than on the pavement. External cill drips block with paint over the decades — raking them clean stops water sitting on the frame after install. 10-year product on every frame, 2-year fitting on the whole package, single point of contact. Non-square reveals mean every frame is bespoke-scribed — templates rather than standard sizes. Front door threshold sits on a York stone step in most cases — level it back to the tile line before the frame lands. Party wall proximity means neighbours hear the removal — we knock ahead and time the noisy hour to mid-morning. Timber-frame construction means fixings go into studs; we probe before drilling to locate them. Seafront elevations often benefit from a rain deflector bar over the composite door letter plate — standard spec here. Where the original glazing bars were 22mm ovolo, we match printed bars to that width — not the modern 26mm default.
