Conservation joinery in Higham Ferrers
There is no standard version of Timber Frame Repair in Higham Ferrers, which is rather the point. Property here runs to ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Locally you are contending with dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, so seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units is the fault we are called out to. What we concentrate on is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Something particular to this area: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
