Conservation joinery in Frome
We take a fair volume of Section Drawings for Consent work across Frome, and almost none of it repeats. Given the Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Then there is very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, which reliably produces prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding given enough seasons. Where we put the effort is drawings detailed enough for a case officer to approve first time.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
Something particular to this area: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

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, 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, SomersetFrome questions
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 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.
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.
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.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
