Conservation joinery in Clophill
Most Timber Frame Repair enquiries we take in Clophill start with an opening that is not a standard size. You are mostly dealing with Victorian hat-trade terraces, chalk-belt cottages and large modern estates around here, so openings vary more than people expect. The exposure here is dry inland conditions with cold winter frost pockets, which is exactly the condition that causes frost damage to end grain and paint cracking on older softwood units. Where we put the effort is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.
A local consideration we always raise: 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.”

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
