Conservation joinery in Southampton
The Listed Building Joinery we make for Southampton is set out from a survey, not a size chart. With naval-era terraces, New Forest timber-framed cottages and 1960s coastal estates making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Add high wind-driven rain off the Solent to that and water ingress at head and jamb on exposed south-west elevations becomes the usual trigger for replacement. What we concentrate on is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
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.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Hampshire“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
