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.
Truro — Cornwall's only city — combines a Georgian and Victorian Lemon Quay centre with the cathedral quarter. Heritage timber sash work, listed-building consents, and commercial shopfront restoration across TR1-TR4 form our core local Cornwall services.
For heritage and listed-property work in Truro, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Cornwall 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. Most commonly we're working across TR1 and TR4 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for South West 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.
