Restoring original joinery is often the most rewarding part of a heritage renovation. Our hardwood timber windows are crafted to ensure exquisite timber sash window restoration across South West London.
In properties across Wandsworth, Battersea and Putney, sash windows often date back over 100 years. Many are still structurally sound but show signs of wear, paint flaking, cords breaking, draughts forming. Rather than replace them outright, homeowners increasingly opt for timber sash window restoration, combining historical integrity with modern usability.
Our restoration process begins with a detailed survey. We assess frame condition, check for signs of rot or movement, and advise whether full or partial restoration is viable. In many cases, original box frames can be retained, with new sashes manufactured to match and fitted with slimline glazing and modern seals.
One Streatham homeowner restored all their front windows by reusing the boxes and commissioning new hardwood sashes. The result was identical in appearance to the originals but far superior in terms of energy performance and usability.
Where full restoration is required, we can also repair or replicate external sills, pulley systems and internal trim. Original ironmongery can be restored or replaced with exact matches. All work is finished with microporous coatings to resist future deterioration.
By retaining as much original material as possible, we help conserve architectural heritage and reduce waste. For listed buildings or projects in conservation zones, this approach is often essential to securing planning approval.
Restoration is not just a conservation choice—it’s a performance upgrade. Repaired windows move more smoothly, seal more effectively, and last longer. And for buyers, original features in working order are seen as an asset, not a liability.
For period homes that deserve preservation, our hardwood timber windows support full or partial restoration tailored to the needs of the building.
