Conservation joinery in Whitby
Listed Building Joinery across Whitby tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. The building stock is medieval York frontages, Dales stone farmhouses and Victorian coastal resorts, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Because of severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales, we see salt and wind damage at the coast, frost damage inland more often here than in most of the country. The detail we will not compromise on is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
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.”

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.
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 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 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.
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.
