Sash window renovation
We restore traditional timber sash windows using resin-infused repairs that accommodate natural timber movement. Our process involves complete paint removal, rot repair with hardwood inserts, and precision sealing gaps against water ingress. This preserves historical windows while improving structural integrity at a fraction of replacement costs.
Double glazing
Specialists in installing 14mm argon-filled double-glazed units into period windows. We handle complex configurations including curved designs and multi-glazing bars. Our discreet installations maintain external aesthetics while improving thermal efficiency, approved by Historic England for listed buildings.
Draught proofing
Enhance comfort through our draught-proofing system that seals gaps while maintaining window functionality. We install brush seals and rebalance window weights with added lead for smooth operation, eliminating cold air infiltration without compromising period features.
Timber painting
Apply high-performance water-based paints offering 15-year durability. Our process begins with bare-timber preparation to ensure maximum adhesion, delivering quick-drying, low-odour finishes that remain flexible to prevent cracking while maintaining traditional aesthetics.
Window repairs
Address decayed sections using resin-bonded hardwood patches that flex with original timber. We replace damaged components without nails or screws to prevent future rust damage, maintaining structural integrity while preserving historical accuracy in period properties.
