Paint Analysis and Matching across Northamptonshire
Paint Analysis and Matching across Northamptonshire tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Property here runs to ironstone cottages, boot-and-shoe terraces and new town expansion housing, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Set against dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, most joinery here eventually shows seasonal shrinkage and glazing bead loosening on older painted units. The part that matters is matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Ask us for a figure and you will get one, with the lead time stated alongside it.
One thing that catches people out here: ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Northamptonshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Northamptonshire including Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and the surrounding villages. Ironstone reveals absorb water and hold it against frames in wet spells. Because dry inland conditions with limited coastal influence, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
