We are Window Restoration Specialists in Lancaster, known for castle hill, Georgian squares and riverside terraces. We work carefully with original timber windows so they can be sensitively restored, upgraded and enjoyed for years to come.
Window Restorations
By combining modern methods with traditional craft, we upgrade original windows so they outperform many new replacements for insulation and durability, without losing period detail. Backed by 25 years’ experience, our team specialises in restoring, overhauling and glazing timber windows and doors to the highest standards. Our portfolio includes work on notable listed buildings and sensitive conservation schemes nationwide. As Installation Partners to Vacuum Glazing UK—the exclusive UK distributors of LandVac—we deliver proven performance. Across Lancaster, we sensitively restore windows in listed properties while maintaining full listed status compliance.
Vacuum Glazing
Visually akin to single glazing, vacuum glazing exceeds typical triple‑glazed performance for insulation and sound control. Remarkably thin and light, it installs into existing joinery without the tell‑tale double reflections of standard double glazing. Our team serves properties throughout Lancaster, providing subtle, heritage‑appropriate improvements. In practical terms, it provides double‑glazing benefits for listed buildings and conservation settings in Lancaster.
Long‑Lasting Sash Window Repairs. It’s a testament to historic materials that so many Georgian‑era windows survive; problems usually begin at the cills and bottom rail joints as gaps allow decay to start. Our preferred system is Repair Care Dry Flex resin, proven for 30+ years on sites such as Somerset House, Clarence House, the Old War Office, the British Museum and the Grosvenor Hotel. Repair Care Dry Flex is specified by Historic England for many high‑profile listed and conservation projects nationwide. When needed, we renew hardwood cills or splice in high‑grade timber bonded with Dry Flex, producing repairs with decades of service life. Across Lancaster, we rescue windows that appear beyond repair, offering a cost‑effective, lower‑carbon alternative to full replacement. If needed, we manufacture British‑made hardwood sashes or full windows to match existing profiles or accommodate revised glazing layouts. Combined with vacuum glazing and draught‑proofing, a restored window can exceed new‑build performance for efficiency and lifespan—especially on listed homes.
To address natural air leakage in Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian joinery, we recess engineered draught‑proof strips at all contact points, echoing modern window practice. The recessed brush seals remain out of sight when shut and are scarcely visible when open. This improves comfort by cutting draughts, lowering noise and reducing dust, while helping sashes run smoothly and preserving the original look. Across Lancaster, draught‑proofing forms a key part of our sash and door upgrade work.
