What we do and how we do it
Architectural Joinery around the UK is a different job from one street to the next. With a mix of period and modern stock making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Set against the full range of UK exposure conditions, most joinery here eventually shows coating failure followed by rot at the joints. What you are paying for is one-off items worked from a drawing set rather than a catalogue.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Local factor worth flagging early: specification should always be matched to local exposure.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
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.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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.
