What we see in Cornwall
Listed Building Joinery around Cornwall is a different job from one street to the next. Most of what we survey locally is granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds, which is not built to any modern module. Because of the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, we see accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines more often here than in most of the country. Everything we do here comes back to replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
A local consideration we always raise: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.

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

Do you cover Cornwall?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cornwall including Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell and the surrounding villages. Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain. Because the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
