Services
Window Restoration
Our window restoration service carefully repairs and rejuvenates original sash and casement windows using traditional techniques. We address rotten timber, replace damaged components, and apply specialist treatments to extend lifespan. This service preserves historical character while improving functionality and energy efficiency for period properties.
Draught Proofing
Draught proofing eliminates cold air gaps in timber windows through brush pile systems and precision adjustments. This heritage-approved method maintains visual authenticity while significantly reducing heat loss. We ensure windows operate smoothly post-installation without compromising historical integrity.
Heritage Double Glazing
Heritage double glazing incorporates 12mm slim units into original sash frames, retaining traditional aesthetics. Our discreet thermal improvements enhance energy efficiency without altering window profiles. This solution meets conservation requirements while modernizing comfort standards for listed buildings.
Secondary Glazing
Secondary glazing adds an internal glass layer to existing windows, improving thermal performance while preserving original features. Our units blend seamlessly with historic frames, offering noise reduction and heat retention benefits without requiring planning permission for listed properties.
Heritage Consultancy
Heritage consultancy provides expert guidance for listed property owners, including listed building consent applications and condition reports. We offer historical research, specification writing, and project management tailored to conservation requirements, ensuring compliance with planning regulations while protecting architectural integrity.
