Contract joinery in St Neots
Most Reception and Bar Joinery enquiries we take in St Neots start with an opening that is not a standard size. 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. What accelerates it is the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, and shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock follows sooner than owners expect. In practice that means front-of-house pieces where the finish is under constant close inspection.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One thing that catches people out here: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
