Conservation joinery in Rye
The hard part of Church and Chapel Joinery in Rye is not the making, it is the measuring. Given the Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. What accelerates it is severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, and UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines follows sooner than owners expect. Everything we do here comes back to ecclesiastical work where the tracery geometry has to be exact.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Bear in mind for this area: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

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

Verified client, East Sussex“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
