Contract joinery in Wantage
Ask three firms about Reception and Bar Joinery in Wantage and you will get three different answers. 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 weather does the rest: river-valley mist and prolonged autumn damp here, and rot behind stone reveals where water tracks in at the joint as the predictable result. What we concentrate on is 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. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
A detail specific to this area: listed and curtilage-listed properties are unusually common in the historic centres.

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.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
