Conservation joinery in Daventry
There is no standard version of Section Drawings for Consent in Daventry, which is rather the point. With ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. The weather does the rest: dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence here, and seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units as the predictable result. The detail we will not compromise on is drawings detailed enough for a case officer to approve first time.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. One call is usually enough for us to tell you roughly where the price will land.
A detail specific to this area: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Northamptonshire“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Northamptonshire“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.
