Conservation joinery in Dover
Listed Building Joinery is one of those jobs in Dover where the survey decides everything. Because the area is mainly weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, no two openings measure quite the same. Because of salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, we see coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery more often here than in most of the country. In practice that means replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Local factor worth flagging early: 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
