Choosing the most appropriate windows and doors is one of the most important decisions you will make for your home. This is never more poignant than when dealing with properties of conservation and listed status.
Knowing and understanding the rules around replacing windows on listed buildings or in conservation areas can be off putting for some homeowners. We are here to help.
We are able to provide sectional drawings of our bespoke products that are specifically designed to help assist with your application.
Our aim is to provide windows that not only meet conservation requirements but also protect the history of your home. We focus on improving insulation, soundproofing and everyday function, all while preserving an authentic appearance that will last for many years to come.
Windows play a key role in a building's style and appearance, so it's essential to get them right in terms of both aesthetics and regulatory compliance.
Timber Windows Listed combines timeless design with precision construction to deliver comfort and convenience far beyond what our ancestors experienced.
Engineered timber prevents twisting, warping, and draughts, while modern glazing, even in single glazed units, offers superior warmth and noise reduction compared to original glass.
Every window and door is crafted by skilled, experienced artisans using traditional methods, with rigorous quality checks. Comprehensive guarantees ensure long-term peace of mind.
“With listed and conservation windows, it’s not just about replacing what’s there. It’s about understanding the building’s age, character and original construction methods, then working with those details rather than against them. We take time to study the proportions, materials and glazing styles, whether it’s a Georgian sash or a Victorian casement, and we match those elements as closely as possible. That includes things like the thickness and shape of glazing bars, the type of timber used, and the traditional finishes applied. It’s this level of care that ensures any new work blends seamlessly with the old. Our aim is always to preserve the building’s history while making the windows fit for modern living, whether that’s better insulation, improved usability or discreet glazing upgrades. Done properly, you shouldn’t notice the difference – and that’s exactly how it should be.”
Our process starts with a personalised consultation where a door specialist listens to your needs and recommends styles, colours, glazing and hardware to suit your home's character. Once you’ve made your selections, we take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit and arrange an installation date that works for you. Our experienced team carries out the installation with care and precision, ensuring every door and window is properly fitted, and we'll guide you through how to operate and maintain your new products once the work is complete.
The glazing specification is crucial for the acceptance of new windows and doors in historic settings. Referencing existing buildings and local fenestration styles is essential to accurately replicate designs. Bespoke elements like through bars and putty glazing set our Listed range apart.
The range offers various glazing options to meet both conservation and lifestyle needs, providing the desired aesthetics while improving heat regulation and sound insulation.
Our 4mm single glazed pane and ultra-slim 14mm double glazed unit, filled with krypton gas and hand-finished with traditional putty, are available with a 22mm glazing bar, ideal for strict planning areas.
For less regulated areas, our high-performance 24mm or 18mm double glazed units, filled with argon and krypton gas respectively, come with 18mm or 27mm glazing bars.
