Services
Sash Windows
We manufacture and install traditional sash windows using Accoya modified timber. Our energy-efficient double-glazed units retain original framework while reducing heating costs. Each window undergoes quality checks and receives draught-proofing treatments to maintain historical authenticity with modern performance benefits.
Conservation Doors
Handcrafted doors for conservation properties combine traditional joinery techniques with Accoya's durability. Available with security features including five-lever insurance-rated locks and custom ironmongery matching. Pre-finishing options ensure weather protection while maintaining authentic visual character for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Timber Repairs
Specialist conservation repairs use premium products endorsed by English Heritage. Our workshop creates exact timber copies when restoration isn't possible, employing splicing techniques for seamless joins. Services include broken glass replacement, lead repair, and stained glass restoration to preserve historical building elements.
Project Management
We coordinate complete projects from planning applications to final installation. This includes CAD drawings for local authorities, conservation area approvals, scaffolding organisation, and decorating coordination. Our single-point contact system ensures seamless execution with fixed pricing for conservation and traditional building projects.
Glazing Solutions
Advanced glazing technology improves insulation while maintaining traditional window character. We offer slim double-glazing units and custom stained glass creation. All glazing meets modern efficiency standards while preserving historical accuracy for period properties and conservation areas.
Questions
What makes your windows suitable for conservation areas?
Our windows retain original frameworks while incorporating energy-efficient glazing. We use Accoya timber with conservation-approved treatments and provide CAD drawings for planning applications.
Can you match existing ironmongery on traditional windows?
Yes, we supply matching ironmongery in various materials including stainless steel and bronze to maintain historical accuracy while incorporating modern security features.
What is Accoya timber and why do you use it?
Accoya is modified wood with FSC certification, offering 50-year durability, minimal maintenance, and superior thermal insulation compared to conventional timbers and synthetic alternatives.
Do you handle complete project management for conservation work?
Yes, we manage projects from planning applications through installation, including scaffolding coordination, repairs, and final decorating to ensure seamless conservation outcomes.
How do your windows help reduce energy bills?
Our double-glazed units with slim profiles maintain traditional aesthetics while improving insulation. Draught-proofing treatments and Accoya's natural insulating properties significantly reduce heat loss.
Can you repair rather than replace historic window elements?
We specialise in professional repairs using conservation-approved products. When replacement is necessary, our workshop creates exact timber copies with seamless splicing techniques for listed buildings.
