Conservation joinery in Cambridge
What makes Listed Building Joinery work in Cambridge is usually invisible once it is finished. You will find mostly college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth in this area, and it moves as it ages. Then there is the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, which reliably produces shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock given enough seasons. Where we put the effort is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One thing that catches people out here: 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.”

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.
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.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
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.
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.
