Listed Building Joinery across Cambridgeshire
Listed Building Joinery around Cambridgeshire is a different job from one street to the next. Local stock is dominated by college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Then there is the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, which reliably produces shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock given enough seasons. The detail we will not compromise on 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. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A local consideration we always raise: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Cambridgeshire including Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely and the surrounding villages. College and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication. Because the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
