What we see in Somerset
Listed Building Joinery around Somerset is a different job from one street to the next. Given the Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Because of very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, we see prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding more often here than in most of the country. The detail we will not compromise on is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One local point to factor in: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Somerset“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Somerset“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”
Verified client, SomersetSomerset questions
Do you cover Somerset?
Yes. We cover the whole of Somerset including Bath, Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and the surrounding villages. Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny. Because very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
