Contract joinery in Cottenham
Purpose-Made Joinery in Cottenham is rarely a catalogue job. Local stock is dominated by college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind sets the pace of decay, and shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock is how it shows up first. The part that matters is the awkward items no stockist carries, made to your exact sizes.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
Something particular to this area: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
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.
