Conservation joinery in Aldeburgh
Listed Building Joinery in Aldeburgh rewards patience at the setting-out stage. Most of what we survey locally is colour-washed timber-framed cottages, wool-town merchant houses and coastal stock, which is not built to any modern module. The other factor is dry easterly climate with strong coastal salt exposure, which is why lime-render and timber junction failure where movement opens the seal is the most common reason people call us. In practice that means replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A detail specific to this area: Lavenham-style timber framing needs specialist scribed repair, not replacement.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Suffolk“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Suffolk“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
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.
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 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.
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.
