Services
Custom Sash Windows
We design and manufacture made-to-measure sash windows tailored to individual requirements. Using Accoya sustainable timber, our windows combine traditional craftsmanship with modern energy efficiency. Each window features mortice and tenon joints, draught-proofing seals, and Teknos coatings for durability. Ideal for new builds or period properties requiring authentic replacements.
Window Repair & Restoration
Our restoration services revive old sash windows through pulley and rope replacements, draught-proofing, and Accoya wood repairs. We refurbish existing frames, apply professional coatings, and install security features. This service preserves historical integrity while improving functionality and thermal performance for heritage and modern properties alike.
Glazing & Security
We upgrade single-glazed windows to energy-efficient double glazing while maintaining traditional aesthetics. Security enhancements include child-safe mechanisms, locking systems, and reinforced glass options. These improvements reduce heat loss and enhance safety without compromising the original design of sash windows.
Accoya Wood Windows
Accoya wood forms the foundation of our sash windows, offering exceptional durability and environmental benefits. This sustainably sourced timber resists warping, requires minimal maintenance, and accepts coatings effectively. Its acoustic properties and compatibility with Teknos finishes make it ideal for long-lasting, eco-friendly window solutions.

We specialise in windows for listed buildings, adhering to strict conservation guidelines. Our team replicates original designs using traditional methods and materials, ensuring compliance with historical preservation standards.
