Conservation joinery in Wellingborough
The hard part of Timber Frame Repair in Wellingborough is not the making, it is the measuring. Local property is overwhelmingly ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. Then there is dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, which reliably produces seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units given enough seasons. Everything we do here comes back to splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
Bear in mind for this area: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
