When restoring older homes in South West London, matching new elements with the old is essential, especially for prominent features like period property windows. With our hardwood timber windows, we help homeowners and property developers blend performance with authenticity at every level.
Each period has its own window hallmarks, Georgian symmetry, Victorian verticality, Edwardian proportion. Using incorrect dimensions or materials doesn’t just look out of place; it can result in planning objections or a devaluation of the property.
In Clapham and Streatham, where entire streets are subject to conservation controls, consistency in window detail affects the character of the entire neighbourhood. That’s why local authorities review window designs closely.
We worked on a three-unit development in Putney where the front elevation needed to match existing Edwardian sashes. The original timber had failed, and the owner wanted to upgrade glazing while keeping the façade consistent. Our team matched every feature, bar pattern, horn detailing, frame depth, while upgrading to low-E glass and draught-proofing.
Buyers and tenants recognise the value of this approach. Especially when they’re inside the room and appreciate the noise reduction and energy performance. Homes that maintain or carefully replicate original features achieve stronger interest and often higher sale or rental prices. Developers benefit from smoother planning and enhanced marketing credibility making properties easier to market and realise your project outcome and profit margins.
