Conservation joinery in Ambleside
The Sash Window Replication we make for Ambleside is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Local property is overwhelmingly Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Because of the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure, we see sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles more often here than in most of the country. The detail we will not compromise on is copying the surviving original rather than approximating it.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Bear in mind for this area: Lake District National Park controls window style closely across the central valleys.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
