Conservation joinery in Kettering
Nothing about Sash Window Replication in Kettering is settled until someone has been on site. Because the area is mainly ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, no two openings measure quite the same. 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. The value is in copying the surviving original rather than approximating it, not in the timber bill.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One thing that catches people out here: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
