Sash window restoration, bifold doors and secure external doors, fitted with period properties and conservation requirements in mind.
Sash window restoration, bifold doors and secure external doors, fitted with period properties and conservation requirements in mind.
Original timber sash windows are often in better structural condition than they look, and full replacement isn't always necessary — or even permitted, if the property's in a conservation area. We assess whether restoration or draught-proofing genuinely solves the problem before quoting a full replacement.
Where replacement is the right call, we fit like-for-like timber sash windows on period properties rather than uPVC, which conservation areas typically won't approve for street-facing elevations.
Bifold doors are common on rear extensions, and we design the opening to work with the rest of the property's proportions rather than as an incongruous modern addition. This usually comes up as part of a wider extension project.

Final walkthrough and snagging before we call it done.
On conservation-area properties, usually not on street-facing elevations — planning rules typically require timber or timber-effect replacements. We'll confirm what applies to your specific property.
Restoration is often more cost-effective than people expect, particularly if the timber frame is sound — we'll give you an honest comparison rather than default to recommending replacement.
Usually not if they're replacing an existing opening of similar size, but this depends on the property and whether it's part of a wider extension. We'll confirm at the quote stage.
