Working in Canterbury

Canterbury's medieval and Georgian architecture under cathedral-city conservation controls dominates our local work — listed-building consent applications, sympathetic sash window replacement, and historic shopfront restoration along the High Street and along CT1-CT2.

For heritage and listed-property work in Canterbury, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Kent 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 CT1 and CT2 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for South East conservation areas.

Our process

How we deliver in Canterbury

01

Heritage consultation

We work with you and (if required) your conservation officer to specify glazing bars, sash horns, ironmongery and paint colours that match your property's period.

02

Joinery manufacture

Each window is hand-built at our partner joinery using FSC-certified timber, factory-painted in controlled conditions for a flawless finish.

03

Sympathetic installation

Old frames removed carefully, new frames installed with traditional sealing methods, and original sills retained where possible.

FAQs

Common questions

Properly maintained engineered timber windows last 60+ years — significantly longer than uPVC. Hardwoods like accoya are guaranteed for 30 years against rot.
Modern factory-painted timber windows need recoating every 8-10 years (compared to every 3-5 for site-painted softwood). Wipe-clean as needed in between.
Yes — modern timber windows accommodate 24-28mm double glazed units as standard, and slimline 14-16mm units for listed-building applications.
