Conservation joinery in Falkirk
There is no standard version of Timber Frame Repair in Falkirk, which is rather the point. With sandstone tenements, Georgian New Town terraces and post-war housing schemes making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Because of cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure, we see sash and case failure in tenement stock and cill decay at stone junctions more often here than in most of the country. What you are paying for is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Local factor worth flagging early: Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching.

What clients tell us
Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Scotland Central Belt“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Scotland Central Belt“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
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 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.
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.
