Conservation joinery in Portsmouth
Sash Window Replication in Portsmouth is rarely a catalogue job. Property here runs to naval-era terraces, New Forest timber-framed cottages and 1960s coastal estates, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. high wind-driven rain off the Solent is the local complication, and water ingress at head and jamb on exposed south-west elevations is what it eventually causes. Where we put the effort is copying the surviving original rather than approximating it.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
Bear in mind for this area: conservation stock in Winchester and Lymington usually requires slim-profile glazing.

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

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
