Services
Bespoke Sash Windows
Crafting exact replicas of original period sash windows using Accoya hardwood. Each window maintains traditional features like internal mouldings and glazing bars while incorporating modern double-glazing technology. Our windows improve thermal efficiency by 30% and reduce external noise by 45%, creating warmer, quieter homes without compromising historical authenticity.
Double Glazing Installation
Installing energy-efficient double-glazed units with soft white spacers for discreet insulation. Our system retains traditional window aesthetics through composite putty instead of visible glazing beads. This reduces heat loss by up to 50% compared to single-glazed windows while maintaining period-appropriate visual characteristics.
Period Property Windows

We replicate Victorian and Georgian window designs with precision, using sustainable materials that meet modern performance standards. Our windows preserve architectural integrity while improving security with insurance-approved fasteners and toughened safety glass.
Window Restoration
Comprehensive restoration of existing sash windows including draught-proofing, repainting, and hardware replacement. We eliminate rattling and improve operation smoothness using traditional joinery techniques combined with modern balancing systems, extending window lifespan while maintaining original character.
Thermal Efficiency Upgrades
Upgrading period windows to meet current energy standards without altering appearance. Our solution combines double-glazing with low-emissivity glass and thermally broken frames, reducing energy bills by up to 25% while maintaining 100% visual consistency with original window designs.
