Conservation joinery in Christchurch
Most Church and Chapel Joinery enquiries we take in Christchurch start with an opening that is not a standard size. The housing here is largely Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages, and that shapes what will actually fit. With exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load in the mix, rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock is a question of when rather than whether. The part that matters is ecclesiastical work where the tracery geometry has to be exact.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A detail specific to this area: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

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