Looking for replacement windows in a conservation area?

If your property is located within a conservation area and has single-glazed windows with wooden frames showing signs of rot and wear, there’s no need to rush into replacing them or dealing with the hassle of planning permission.

Our team specializes in restoring and reglazing existing wooden windows using high-efficiency vacuum insulated glazing.

Refurbishing and reglazing do not require planning permission and are more cost-effective compared to complete window replacement.

A window is split down the middle; the left side is old, damaged, and in black and white, while the right features new double glazing sash windows, fully restored and vibrant in color.

Same thermal and acoustic performance as modern A-rated double or triple glazing new windows

Why replace when you can restore? In conservation areas, maintaining the original character of your property is essential—but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort or efficiency.

Our expert restoration and reglazing service allows you to keep your original wooden window frames while upgrading them with advanced vacuum insulated glazing (VIG).

This approach delivers the same thermal and acoustic performance as modern A-rated double or triple glazing—without the disruption, cost, or need for planning permission. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to enhance your home, fully compliant with conservation area regulations.
