Timber is the natural fit for Sevenoaks's conservation context — most modern aluminium or uPVC specifications would either fail planning or look badly out of place in a heritage streetscape. We handle conservation officer correspondence as part of the project where helpful, and we can prepare drawings and pre-application material to accompany any planning submission.
The local commercial mix in Sevenoaks covers independent retail, food and drink, professional services, and a high proportion of historic commercial premises that need conservation-sensitive specifications. For these typical premises we'd recommend a specification along the lines of: kiln-dried European oak, sapele or accoya, traditional joinery with rebated glazing, multi-coat satin or eggshell paint specification, dentil or moulded cornicing where the project asks for it, dimensional fascia signage to match.
This service is ideal for conservation-area retail, listed buildings, heritage hospitality venues, premium independent retail and any context where modern aluminium or glass would be planning-refused.
