Conservation joinery in Needham Market
Getting Timber Frame Repair right in Needham Market depends on detail that a price list cannot capture. Around here it is colour-washed timber-framed cottages, wool-town merchant houses and coastal stock, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. What accelerates it is dry easterly climate with strong coastal salt exposure, and lime-render and timber junction failure where movement opens the seal follows sooner than owners expect. Where we put the effort is splicing in new timber so the historic fabric is largely retained.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
Worth knowing locally: 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“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
