Services
Sash window repair
We restore sash windows to full functionality through structural repairs, including frame reinforcement, rot repair, and component replacement. Our process preserves historical accuracy while addressing wear and tear. This service ensures longevity and operational smoothness for properties in Cambridge and East Anglia.
Glazing upgrades
Upgrade single or failed double glazing to slimline double or vacuum-insulated units. This improves thermal efficiency and noise reduction while maintaining original window profiles. Ideal for listed buildings requiring heritage-compliant solutions across East Anglia.
Draught-proofing
Install draught-proofing systems to eliminate gaps in wooden sash windows. This reduces heat loss, lowers energy costs, and enhances comfort without altering window appearance. Suitable for both modern and historic properties in conservation areas.
Painting services
Apply protective paint coatings after repairs or glazing upgrades. This preserves wood integrity and enhances aesthetic appeal. We use durable finishes compatible with traditional timber to ensure long-lasting protection against weathering.
Conservation area work
Specialised repairs for properties in protected zones, using authentic materials and techniques. We comply with local planning requirements to maintain historical character while improving window functionality and energy efficiency for Cambridge's period homes.

Hugely impressed. The windows look fantastic and the house feels noticeably warmer. The service was also great. We were introduced to each member of the team by name and the expertise of the craftspeople and installers was clear. Every stage of the process was explained to us in advance and the making good after installation was carefully done.

Generally good finished impression other than not making good well around the windows - cement instead of bricks will be hard to live with. Glass not checked carefully before installing and has some visible scratches both externally and between the panes. Poor planning ahead of trying to make good under the living room window.the decorator persevered and was as careful as he could be, more in keeping with the good reputation of the firm. Some of the newcomers are simply not yet "seamlessly" integrated and so I don't feel the current ownership is matching the old unless they work a lot harder on overseeing the projects on site.
