What we see in Cambridgeshire
People come to us about Listed Building Joinery in Cambridgeshire once the cheap option has already failed. With college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. The weather does the rest: the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind here, and shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock as the predictable result. What you are paying for is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Bear in mind for this area: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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

Do you cover Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cambridgeshire including Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely and the surrounding villages. College and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication. Because the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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 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.
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.
