Expert restoration and renovation of timber windows and doors for heritage properties
A period property deserves extraordinary care and attention to protect its history and charm. In heritage, conservation and listed buildings – where replacing joinery is oftentimes not an option – we carefully restore and renovate windows and doors to preserve character and architectural integrity.
Drawing on years of experience and technical expertise, our skilled craftsmen bring an unrivalled level of precision and artistry. No matter the size of the project, every window and door are treated as part of a unique architectural story that requires a considered, detailed approach to restoration.
Whether the property is Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian or from an earlier era, we deeply respect the original design. Using traditional joinery techniques alongside advanced materials and methods, we restore functionality and beauty while maintaining the historic fabric of the building.
From repairing sash windows and reinstating missing details to restoring original doors and upgrading draught-proofing in accordance with conservation regulations, every aspect of our service is tailored. Where appropriate, we incorporate modern innovations with classic design to ensure performance, security, sustainability, and comfort without compromising authenticity.
We install advanced draught-proofing systems to eliminate draughts and rattles, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency while maintaining the window's original aesthetic.
Our unique systems improve the ease of maintenance, allowing for straightforward removal and reinstallation of sashes for painting and upkeep.
We replace cracked or inefficient glass with high-performance options, including discreet secondary glazing, to improve thermal and acoustic performance.
We fit new, high-quality ironmongery in keeping with the property's style, ensuring smooth operation and enhanced security. Timber repairs: We meticulously sand and replace rotten timber, ensuring the structural integrity and longevity of the building's windows and doors.
We reweigh sashes to ensure smooth and effortless operation.
We install durable hardwood sills to replace damaged or decayed ones, preserving the window's structural integrity.
We carefully release stuck or painted shut sashes, restoring full functionality.
Our unique wood repair system is designed to extend the life of decaying timber windows and doors to a suitable condition. We remove decaying wood, apply stabilisers and fill gaps and joints to enhance durability.

The result is a set of reimagined windows and doors — not new but renewed — that retain the building’s timeless appeal.
