Conservation joinery in Sudbury
If you are looking at Traditional Putty Glazing in Sudbury, the timber is only half the decision. 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. In practice that means genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
One thing that catches people out here: 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.”

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.
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 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 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.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
