Sash Windows
We manufacture traditional sash windows in various styles including Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian designs. Our windows feature slimline double glazing options for heritage properties and standard double glazing for modern homes. Each window includes rustproof hardware and perimeter weather seals to prevent draughts while maintaining authentic aesthetics.
Casement Windows
Our casement windows are available in flush, stormproof, and curved designs with optional single or energy-efficient double glazing. They incorporate ball-bearing hinges and draught-proofing systems while offering custom ironmongery choices. The windows meet Part Q security standards with multi-point locking mechanisms for enhanced safety.
Timber Doors
We create solid timber doors using traditional joinery techniques with options in Accoya, oak, ash, and other hardwoods. External doors feature Ultion security cylinders and multi-point locking systems. Internal doors can be matched to existing designs or custom-made with various panel configurations and finishes.
Staircases
Our bespoke staircases are handcrafted from pine, oak, ash, walnut, and other timbers to client specifications. We provide complete installations including handrails, spindles, and newel posts. Each staircase is custom-measured and manufactured to fit unique spatial requirements while maintaining structural integrity.

We specialise in Accoya timber products offering 50-year durability guarantees. This acetylated wood provides exceptional dimensional stability, reduced maintenance, and improved coating performance. Our Accoya windows and doors combine environmental sustainability with superior resistance to rot and weathering compared to traditional hardwoods.
