Timber Windows
Our bespoke timber windows combine traditional craftsmanship with modern energy-efficient technology. Crafted from sustainably sourced FSC-certified timber, they feature Planitherm double glazing for superior insulation. Each design is tailored to complement both period and contemporary properties while ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.
Timber Doors
Bespoke timber doors are crafted using durable modified softwood like Accoya, offering stability and a 60-year lifespan. Available in traditional and modern styles, they incorporate security features and energy-efficient glazing, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality for residential and commercial properties.
Secondary Glazing
Secondary glazing solutions improve thermal efficiency and reduce noise in historic properties. Installed without altering existing windows, this option meets conservation guidelines and enhances comfort while preserving original architectural details in listed buildings.

Report
Our new front door was made to an incredibly high standard, and exactly as we wanted it (none of the "this is how we do it" other joiners had said).
