Traditional windows & doors, for modern life.
Exceptional Craftsmanship.
Seamless Service.
Local Expertise.
No Compromise.
We have been delivering sympathetic window and door restorations and replacements in central London for over a decade.
Our mission is to help bring your home up to the most energy-efficient standards, whilst remaining true to the architectural heritage of our neighbourhoods.
We do this by taking care of the entire process from surveys, permits, manufacture, installation and aftercare, leaving you free to enjoy a warmer, quieter home.
There are many paths to a warmer, quieter home. Isn’t that comforting?
-
When you want to keep your existing windows and have them function so much better. Our restoration process integrates intelligent engineering solutions to eliminate draughts and create warmer, calmer spaces with improved energy efficiency and security. All done without compromising on those cute architectural features.
-
The sensible choice for those times when you need to keep your existing frames. New double glazed or vacuum glazed sliding sashes provide smoother operation, a warmer, quieter home and an EPC upgrade. Improvement from inside out - isn't that what we all dream of?
-
Some things are simply unsalvageable. If your windows or doors are beyond the point of safe or economic repair, replacing them is the only option. We will swap them out with warmer, quieter, sustainable technology, whilst remaining true to their historic design concepts and original architectural features.
-
Our ultra thin, custom built frames integrate seamlessly with the existing window of any period property. They can reduce external noise levels by up to 80% and reduce heat loss by up to 65%. All this whilst retaining your property's authentic aesthetics.
-
Would you like them weather-proof, fire-proof or bullet-proof? Or perhaps all three? Industry leading features such as Banham locks, fingerprint control and reinforced steel interiors. Custom-made in period designs with new heritage-inspired hardware, or we can reuse the existing ones, if that's more your speed.
Wood For Every Budget
-
Accoya is our preferred choice for all projects. Especially popular in high-end applications where durability, stability and sustainability are essential considerations.
Although the initial investment is higher, it requires minimal maintenance and lasts for generations.
-
This commercially important hardwood is reminiscent of mahogany, and is a part of the same Meliaceae family.
It is a popular choice in the manufacture of windows, furniture, joinery, luxury flooring, and boat building.
-
A moderate-cost hardwood that looks good and performs well with a little care.
Suitable for a wide range of uses, especially windows.
No Half Measures
Permits . Manufacture. Installation . Aftercare.
And everything in between.
We inspect, assess, and advise how you can best move forward with restoring, improving or replacing your windows and doors sensitively, in accordance with all stakeholder requirements.
*For homeowners, property managers, freeholders, managing agents, construction companies and architects.
ASSESSMENT & advice
Paperwork. Nobody likes it. Except us.
We will take the onerous but necessary tasks of permissions, consents, permits and other miscellaneous paperwork off your hands. After installation, we will apply for a new energy performance certificate (EPC). What you end up with is a seamless end-to-end experience.

RESTORE or REPLACE?
TOTALLY TOASTY
“It’s frustrating to have rooms that are noisy and cold; simply because regulations make it so difficult to do a sensible window upgrade.”

“I prefer my home cold and draughty.”

“I was unsure at first. But Charlie took care of everything. He dealt with the permits, protected my home during the installation, handled minor redecoration & provided a professional clean. My home also received an improved EPC rating, now it’s warm for the winter and so quiet and calm. Highly recommended.”
