Conservation joinery in Tonbridge
Half the Section Drawings for Consent problems we fix in Tonbridge started as a sizing assumption. Local property is overwhelmingly weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. The weather does the rest: salt-laden easterly wind along the coast here, and coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery as the predictable result. In practice that means drawings detailed enough for a case officer to approve first time.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
Something particular to this area: 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.
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.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
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.
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.
