Expert bespoke timber windows & doors for conservation areas
Conservation areas were introduced in the late 1960s and now cover much of the UK’s period property stock. In London, most areas, especially those with historical or architectural significance, are designated as conservation zones. These areas are protected to preserve their unique character and heritage, and any new works or modifications – such as replacing windows – must comply with strict guidelines.
While these regulations are designed to protect the character of an area, they don’t necessarily mean you need full planning permission to replace your windows and doors. For most properties in conservation areas, you can replace existing windows like-for-like in both material and appearance, which means the new windows must closely match the original design.
We use the highest quality materials and traditional joinery techniques to ensure that each window and door we create is both authentic and durable.
We offer heritage-friendly glazing options, which provide energy efficiency without compromising on the aesthetic appeal of your period property.
We understand that each conservation area property is unique, and we tailor our products to suit the specific requirements of your home.
