Conservation joinery in Roade
The Timber Frame Repair we make for Roade is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Local stock is dominated by ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. 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 splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained, not in the timber bill.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
Something particular 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.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
