What we do

Traditional skills for
working windows.

Window restoration

Repairing traditional sash and casement windows while retaining sound original material wherever possible.

Timber and joinery

Local timber repairs, careful splicing and replacement of defective components where required.

Glazing and finishing

Glazing repairs, sash cords, beads and ironmongery, with surface preparation and coatings suited to the project.

Our approach

One window at a time.
Care for the whole building.

We aim to repair and reinstate each window on the same working day wherever practicable, reducing the time an opening is left exposed and the disruption to people using the building.

Floors, furnishings and surrounding historic fabric are protected. Before reinstatement, each window is checked against the specification, adjusted and tested for operation.
