Conservation joinery in St Ives
Getting Traditional Putty Glazing right in St Ives depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Because the area is mainly granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds, no two openings measure quite the same. the most severe salt and wind exposure in England sets the pace of decay, and accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines is how it shows up first. Our focus on this is genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
One thing that catches people out here: 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
