New Windows
We manufacture and install new replica sash windows using Accoya timber, matching original designs while incorporating modern double glazing. These windows fit into existing box frames, preserving historical aesthetics. Our precision craftsmanship ensures seamless integration with period properties, offering enhanced thermal efficiency and noise reduction without altering the building's character.
Sash Repairs
Our sash repair service addresses damaged components using traditional techniques and high-performance epoxy compounds. We restore functionality to windows sealed shut or difficult to operate, maintaining historical integrity. Services include pulley replacement, cord repair, and weatherstripping, ensuring durability and improved energy efficiency for period properties.
Replacement Sills
We replace decayed window sills with durable sapele hardwood, replicating original profiles. Our process involves removing damaged wood, applying epoxy resin for structural integrity, and finishing with primer for longevity. This service restores both aesthetic appeal and functionality while preventing future moisture damage in traditional window frames.
Glazing Options
We offer diverse glazing solutions including toughened safety glass, laminated security glass, and acoustic noise-reducing glass. Our LandVac vacuum glazing provides heritage-compatible thermal efficiency with a 0.4 W/mK U-value. These options enhance security, reduce external noise, and improve energy efficiency while maintaining the authentic appearance of period windows.
LandVac Glass

This solution preserves the appearance of single-glazed sash windows while meeting modern energy standards. Ideal for conservation areas, it offers a 50+ year lifespan with minimal visual impact.
