Conservation joinery in Rochester
People come to us about Section Drawings for Consent in Rochester once the cheap option has already failed. Local stock is dominated by weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Add salt-laden easterly wind along the coast to that and coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery becomes the usual trigger for replacement. The detail we will not compromise on is drawings detailed enough for a case officer to approve first time.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
A local consideration we always raise: 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.”

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.
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 match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
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.
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.
