Conservation joinery in Leeds
Nothing about Listed Building Joinery in Leeds is settled until someone has been on site. Property here runs to millstone grit terraces, weavers' cottages and Victorian civic frontages, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Set against Pennine exposure with hard frost and horizontal rain, most joinery here eventually shows frost damage at end grain and blown joints on exposed hillside stock. Our focus on this is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
Nothing is ordered until someone has stood in front of the opening with a tape. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One thing that catches people out here: gritstone reveals hold water against frames, so drainage detail is critical.

What clients tell us
Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“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.”
Verified client, West YorkshireLeeds questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
