Our complete new windows and doors comply with Document L Building Regulations. New sashes, casements or doors fitted into their existing frames do not have to comply as this type of work is classed as refurbishment and does not require certification. Listed buildings and some properties in conservation areas are exempt from Document L, and your local authority planning department will be able to advise.
This depends entirely upon what type of window you have, however we have developed a service that will more than likely meet your requirements, namely by replacing your existing moving sashes with new, slim double glazed replicas into the original box frames. Find out more here
We use 4 layer weathershield paint and stain finishes on all of our timber products to keep them looking good, however timber products aren’t maintenance free and will require regular maintenance to maintain the performance and look of the product. The regularity of maintenance will depend on the location of your property and where the wooden windows are located on the property.
Our paint finishes will require maintenance every 3 years to 4 years in a moderate climate (non-coastal areas at low altitude) or every 2 to 3 years in extreme climates (coastal areas and high altitude).
Our stain finishes will require maintenance every 2 to 3 years in a moderate climate (non-coastal areas at low altitude) or every 1 to 2 years in extreme climates (coastal areas and high altitude).
Unsheltered windows will require more maintenance than those sheltered or partly sheltered.
We recommend that the surface coating is inspected annually and if required you should re-coat the wood with stain or paint.
Where possible we do all work in situ and take the sashes out from the inside of the property. Because of this we ask that the rooms we will be working in are cleared of any obstructing furnitre, we will cover any remaining furniture with dust sheets. If scaffolding is necessary we will always discuss this with you in advance of the order being placed.
Yes. We are proud to be able to match most styles and patterns with our Classic range. If you require specific, historically accurate windows, replicating the existing features, this can be done for a higher price. Through modern technology and traditional joinery techniques we are able to produce elegant yet energy efficient replacement windows and doors.

We use a variety of timbers. All are FSC certified. In most cases we use Hardwood red meranti but we do manufacture doors and windows out of a wide selection of hardwood or softwood. If you have a preferred timber choice please talk to us.
