Conservation joinery in Ilminster
What makes Traditional Putty Glazing work in Ilminster is usually invisible once it is finished. You are mostly dealing with Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock around here, so openings vary more than people expect. 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. In practice that means genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Get in touch and we will be straight with you about cost and timescale.
Local factor worth flagging early: 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, SomersetIlminster questions
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
