Conservation joinery in York
The Listed Building Joinery we make for York is set out from a survey, not a size chart. You will find mostly medieval York frontages, Dales stone farmhouses and Victorian coastal resorts in this area, and it moves as it ages. Locally you are contending with severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales, so salt and wind damage at the coast, frost damage inland is the fault we are called out to. The value is in replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition, not in the timber bill.
Nothing goes into manufacture until a surveyor has checked each opening on site. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Worth knowing locally: 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.”
Verified client, North YorkshireYork questions
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
