What we see in Oxfordshire
Getting Architectural Joinery right in Oxfordshire depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. With Cotswold stone cottages, Georgian college-town terraces and new-build fringe estates making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. The exposure here is river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp, which is exactly the condition that causes rot behind stone reveals where water tracks in at the joint. What you are paying for is one-off items worked from a drawing set rather than a catalogue.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Local factor worth flagging early: listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres.

Do you cover Oxfordshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Oxfordshire including Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, Abingdon and the surrounding villages. Listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres. Because river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
