Some period properties have original Georgian, Victorian, or Edwardian timber windows worth restoring rather than replacing — especially in Conservation Areas, on Listed Buildings, or where the original joinery is of exceptional quality. S&K Glazing's heritage restoration service rebuilds failed sash mechanisms, scarfs-in rotten timber sections, re-cords sash weights, repaints to authentic finish, and optionally upgrades to slim-profile heritage double glazing without changing the external appearance.
Oxford's conservation-area density (most of the city is protected) means listed-building consent rules out conventional window replacement on most properties — making our slimline secondary glazing the preferred solution. We also work on contemporary residential glazing in Oxford's surrounding villages.
For heritage and listed-property work in Oxford, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Oxfordshire council's conservation area rules and listed-building consent requirements, using putty-glazed timber sashes, slim-sightline secondary glazing systems that sit invisibly behind original primary glazing, and steel-window restoration for Crittall-style frames. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for South East conservation areas.
We photograph and document each window, identify the timber species and original joinery techniques, and produce a condition report listing required restoration work.
For Listed Buildings we prepare Listed Building Consent application drawings and specifications. For Conservation Area properties we liaise with conservation officers as required.
Sashes removed and taken to our heritage workshop. Repairs include scarfed-in timber sections, new sash cords and weights, lock servicing, and authentic micro-porous paint finish.
