Conservation joinery in Ilkley
Half the Traditional Putty Glazing problems we fix in Ilkley started as a sizing assumption. Because the area is mainly millstone grit terraces, weavers' cottages and Victorian civic frontages, no two openings measure quite the same. The other factor is Pennine exposure with hard frost and horizontal rain, which is why frost damage at end grain and blown joints on exposed hillside stock is the most common reason people call us. The detail we will not compromise on is genuine linseed putty lines rather than a bead pretending to be one.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
A detail specific to this area: gritstone reveals hold water against frames, so drainage detail is critical.

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

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
