What we see in East Sussex
Getting Listed Building Joinery right in East Sussex depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Most of what we survey locally is Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, which is not built to any modern module. Locally you are contending with severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, so UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines is the fault we are called out to. Our focus on this is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A local consideration we always raise: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Do you cover East Sussex?
Yes. We cover the whole of East Sussex including Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings and the surrounding villages. Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery. Because severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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.
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.
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.
