Paint Analysis and Matching across North Yorkshire
There is no standard version of Paint Analysis and Matching in North Yorkshire, which is rather the point. Local property is overwhelmingly medieval York frontages, Dales stone farmhouses and Victorian coastal resorts, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales is the local complication, and salt and wind damage at the coast, frost damage inland is what it eventually causes. Everything we do here comes back to matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
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: York's historic core requires close matching of historic glazing bar profiles.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover North Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of North Yorkshire including York, Harrogate, Scarborough, Middlesbrough and the surrounding villages. York's historic core requires close matching of historic glazing bar profiles. Because severe North Sea exposure on the coast and upland cold in the Dales, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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 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.
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 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.
