Conservation joinery in Towcester
Getting Paint Analysis and Matching right in Towcester depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. 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. dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence sets the pace of decay, and seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units is how it shows up first. What you are paying for is matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One local point to factor in: 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
