Conservation joinery in Ampthill
The Listed Building Joinery we make for Ampthill is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Local property is overwhelmingly Victorian hat-trade terraces, chalk-belt cottages and large modern estates, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Then there is dry inland conditions with cold winter frost pockets, which reliably produces frost damage to end grain and paint cracking on older softwood units given enough seasons. The detail we will not compromise on is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
Local factor worth flagging early: Bedfordshire stock is dominated by repair and upgrade rather than heritage matching.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Bedfordshire“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Bedfordshire“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
