Conservation joinery in St Ives
Most Paint Analysis and Matching enquiries we take in St Ives start with an opening that is not a standard size. 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. What accelerates it is the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, and shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock follows sooner than owners expect. In practice that means matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One local point to factor in: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

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.
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.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
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 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.
