Timber Window Restoration and Refurbishment
Restoring timber windows is almost always the better choice when the frame structure is fundamentally sound. Original joinery, particularly in period properties, was made from dense, slow-grown timber that outperforms much modern softwood. A proper repair extends the working life of these frames by decades.
Wooden window refurbishment goes further than basic repair. A full refurbishment programme typically includes draught proofing, glazing upgrade options, repainting and hardware replacement, leaving the window performing as well as a new unit while retaining its original character and detail.
For listed buildings and conservation area properties, timber window restoration is often the only consented option. We understand what conservation officers require and can provide drawings and specifications to support listed building applications.

FAQ

-
Yes. We can upgrade glazing during a refurbishment, fitting slim-profile double glazed units or vacuum glazing panels into repaired sashes without altering the external appearance of the window.
-
Routine repair and refurbishment work does not normally require planning permission. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, consent may be required for glazing upgrades or changes to appearance. We advise on this as part of every project.
-
Yes. Rotted wood window frame repair is one of our most common jobs. We remove decayed timber, consolidate surrounding wood and rebuild the joint to full structural strength using appropriate materials and techniques.
-
Yes. We have considerable experience working on listed buildings and supply the drawings and supporting documentation required by conservation officers. Timber sash window repairs in listed buildings require particular care and we understand the consented approaches.
-
A well-executed repair using good-quality timber and an exterior-grade paint system can last twenty years or more with routine maintenance. We provide care guidance at handover.
