Cambridge specifics
Housing: Core conservation area spans most of the city centre; traditional timber casements and sashes dominate college-owned and Victorian stock.
Climate: Flat open Fens to the north allow cold winds in winter; north-facing rooms in older terraces see significant radiant heat loss.
Price driver: High demand and strict planning inflate costs; college and conservation restrictions often mandate like-for-like timber replacements.
Installers: Small number of council-approved heritage joiners; long lead times in summer due to college maintenance schedules.
