We are Window Restoration Specialists in Preston, known for Victorian parks, red‑brick streets and market quarters. We work carefully with original timber windows so they can be sensitively restored, upgraded and enjoyed for years to come.
Window Restorations
Our approach blends advanced technology with heritage skills, elevating your existing windows to exceed typical new‑build standards for efficiency and longevity while safeguarding their authentic look. With more than 25 years’ expertise, we focus on restoration, overhauls and specialist glazing for timber windows and doors. We routinely support significant conservation projects and listed properties around the UK. Through our partnership with Vacuum Glazing UK (exclusive UK distributors of LandVac), we offer a rigorously tested solution. For listed buildings in Preston, our methods preserve status while delivering modern performance.
Vacuum Glazing
Although it looks like a single pane, vacuum glazing can outperform triple glazing for both heat retention and acoustic control. Because it is slim and light, it can be fitted to existing windows without the double‑reflection issues common to double glazing. Working across Preston, we implement unobtrusive upgrades that suit conservation priorities. Effectively, it’s double glazing designed for listed properties—well suited to conservation zones in Preston.
Repairs to Stand the Test of Time. Historic windows often last centuries due to superior timber, yet decay can take hold at cills and lower joints where openings appear. We use the Repair Care Dry Flex resin system, a 30‑year proven method applied on major landmarks including Somerset House, Clarence House, the Old War Office, the British Museum and the Grosvenor Hotel. Many significant conservation schemes list Repair Care Dry Flex as the specified approach for timber repairs. We renew cills and splice in quality hardwood where necessary, using Dry Flex bonding to create durable, long‑term repairs. In Preston, we often return seemingly failed windows to full health, avoiding wasteful replacement. We also supply UK‑crafted hardwood sashes or full frames, matched to originals or adapted for different glazing patterns. Paired with vacuum glazing and discreet draught‑proofing, restoration often surpasses new windows for both durability and energy performance in listed settings.
Historic sash and casement windows benefit from discreet draught‑proof strips fitted to every contact surface, bringing them closer to modern performance. Because the strips are rebated, they are invisible when closed and unobtrusive when open. You gain better energy and noise performance, less dust and easier operation, with the building’s character fully retained. For properties in Preston, draught‑proofing is an integral step in comprehensive refurbishment.
