Conservation joinery in Letchworth
We take a fair volume of Listed Building Joinery work across Letchworth, and almost none of it repeats. Property here runs to garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Because of moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, we see frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units more often here than in most of the country. In practice that means replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
One thing that catches people out here: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Hertfordshire“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Hertfordshire“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 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.
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.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
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.
