Working in Colchester

Colchester — Britain's oldest recorded town — combines Roman heritage, Tudor and Georgian conservation, and a modern garrison-driven housing market. Our work spans listed-building sash windows in the Dutch Quarter through to volume re-glazing on the new-build estates across CO1-CO7.

For heritage and listed-property work in Colchester, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Essex 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 CO1 and CO7 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for East conservation areas.

Our process

How we deliver in Colchester

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.
