Contract joinery in Chester
If Architectural Joinery in Chester were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Around here it is black-and-white revival frontages, Georgian market towns and large modern detached stock, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. What accelerates it is moderate rainfall with damp Mersey basin air, and joint opening and glazing failure on large-format modern units follows sooner than owners expect. The detail we will not compromise on is one-off items worked from a drawing set rather than a catalogue.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A local consideration we always raise: high-value Cheshire stock frequently specifies engineered hardwood as standard.

Verified client, CheshireChester questions
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.
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.
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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
