Conservation joinery in Richmond
There is no standard version of Traditional Putty Glazing in Richmond, which is rather the point. With medieval York frontages, Dales stone farmhouses and Victorian coastal resorts making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. What accelerates it is severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales, and salt and wind damage at the coast, frost damage inland follows sooner than owners expect. In practice that means genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A detail specific to this area: York's historic core requires close matching of historic glazing bar profiles.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, North Yorkshire“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, North Yorkshire“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
