Traditional Putty Glazing & Specialist Remedial Work

For listed buildings, conservation areas, and anyone who refuses to lose original 18th–20th century windows, we are genuine experts in traditional putty-fronted glazing and full remedial restoration.

When Modern Replacement Just Isn’t Allowed (or Wanted)

Heritage officers, Article 4 directions, and Grade I/II* listings often insist on retention and repair rather than replacement. We make your original timber or metal windows look and perform beautifully again – legally, sympathetically, and permanently.
