Conservation joinery in Witham
Church and Chapel Joinery is one of those jobs in Witham where the survey decides everything. Local stock is dominated by estuary bungalows, 1930s ribbon development and timber-framed village stock, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Because of the driest climate in the UK with sharp summer heat, we see shrinkage cracking and glazing bead failure from repeated drying cycles more often here than in most of the country. Our focus on this is ecclesiastical work where the tracery geometry has to be exact.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Something particular to this area: low rainfall shifts the risk from rot toward movement and seal failure.

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

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
