Conservation joinery in Chatham
If Timber Frame Repair in Chatham were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Most of what we survey locally is weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, which is not built to any modern module. With salt-laden easterly wind along the coast in the mix, coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery is a question of when rather than whether. In practice that means splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One thing that catches people out here: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Kent“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Kent“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.
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 deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
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 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.
