Renovation
Our renovation process involves stripping windows to bare timber, replacing rotten sections with hardwood and resin, and sealing gaps for a watertight finish. We avoid nails to prevent future rust damage while preserving the window's structural integrity. This method ensures repairs flex with natural timber movement, extending lifespan.
Draught Proofing
We install draught-proofing systems that eliminate cold air infiltration while ensuring smooth window operation. Our technique includes adding brushes to reduce friction and recalibrating weights for perfect balance. This results in secure, energy-efficient windows that maintain original functionality without rattling or stiffness.
Double Glazing
We replace single glazing with 14mm argon-filled units, compatible with curved, stained-glass, and glazing-bar windows. Approved by Historic England, our discreet installations maintain external aesthetics while improving thermal efficiency. Toughened glass meets building regulations, reducing condensation and energy bills by enhancing U-values.
Painting
Our water-based paints offer a 15-year guarantee, combining quick drying times with low odour and superior flexibility. Applied to bare timber, this ensures long-term durability without cracking. The finish enhances window protection while maintaining traditional visual appeal through high-quality application techniques.
Doors
We restore timber doors using the same precision techniques as window renovations. Services include draught-proofing, repainting, and structural repairs to preserve original features. Our approach maintains historical accuracy while improving energy efficiency and functionality for modern use.
