Conservation joinery in Cockermouth
Paint Analysis and Matching is one of those jobs in Cockermouth where the survey decides everything. The building stock is Lakeland slate cottages, Georgian Carlisle stock and coastal industrial terraces, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. the highest rainfall in England with severe upland exposure is the local complication, and sustained saturation decay and finish failure within short recoating cycles is what it eventually causes. The part that matters is matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
A detail specific to 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.”
Verified client, Cumbria“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Cumbria“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
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 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.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
