Restoring the Soul of Your Period Windows

We specialise in preserving the authenticity of period windows and repairing original timber and sash components rather than replacing them. Our approach retains historical details, such as ornate glazing bars, ensuring your windows remain true to their era.

We use high quality appropriate materials including hardwoods, traditional linseed based putty and premium paints from brands like Farrow & Ball or Little Greene. These are carefully chosen for their compatibility with period properties, offering rich authentic colours and textures that enhance aesthetic appeal while protecting against the UK’s harsh climate.

Sash windows demand unique skills to restore their intricate mechanisms, including pulleys, cords, and weights. Our team expertly repair or replace these components to ensure smooth operation while maintaining integrity. We also offer discreet draught-proofing and double glazing upgrades to improve energy efficiency without compromising the window’s original appearance where appropriate.

Our restoration begins with a thorough assessment of each window’s condition. We carefully strip old paint, repair or replace damaged timber and treat wood to prevent rot and decay. For instance, we use Repair Care epoxy resin for minor repairs or splice in matching timber for more extensive restoration, ensuring seamless integration with the original frame. Sometimes it is hard to know the damage till we have had a closer inspection of the timber.

Every window is unique, and our restoration is tailored to its specific needs. Whether reviving the intricate joinery of a Georgian sash window or restoring the robust elegance of a Victorian frame, we collaborate closely with you to ensure the finish complements your property’s style and your personal vision.

Sustainability lies at the heart of our work. By restoring rather than replacing windows, we reduce waste and preserve natural resources. We use low-VOC paints and environmentally friendly treatments to minimise environmental impact, ensuring your property is preserved responsibly for future generations.

Our restorations go beyond aesthetics to improve performance. We address issues such as sticking sashes, draughts and rattles ensuring your windows operate smoothly while retaining their historical charm. Protective coatings and tailored maintenance advice ensure your restored windows remain beautiful and functional for decades.

From hand sanding intricate mouldings to aligning sash weights for perfect balance, no detail is overlooked. Our team takes pride in achieving flawless finishes that highlight the craftsmanship of your windows, whether for a single sash in a cottage or a full set in a grand manor house.
