Chigwell, a historic village in Essex that dates back to the medieval period, is celebrated for its affluent character and stunning period architecture. The village is often associated with literary greats like Charles Dickens, who once described it as the “greatest place in the world” in his novel Barnaby Rudge. Today, Chigwell’s properties, ranging from grand Georgian houses to charming 19th-century cottages, retain many original features, including elegant sash windows. Our team of specialists offers comprehensive sash window restoration services to preserve the historic character of these homes. We address issues such as misaligned sashes, rotting timber, and cracked glass with traditional methods that respect the property’s original construction. In addition, we offer complete draught-proofing solutions that help improve the energy efficiency of your home without compromising its period charm. Our careful attention to detail ensures that your Chigwell property remains true to its historical roots while providing a comfortable living environment. Choosing our services means preserving the architectural integrity of your home and maintaining Chigwell’s standing as one of the most beautiful and historically significant villages in Essex.

Whether you're dealing with rattling panes, cold draughts, or decaying timber, we deliver tailor-made joinery solutions to restore warmth, style, and value to your home.
We work with Accoya wood, sapele, and European oak to craft long-lasting, sustainable window frames and doors that are both beautiful and built to last. From Georgian sash windows with elegant glazing bars to Edwardian sash windows with large glass panels, every piece we create respects your property’s unique history and character. We also offer spring balanced sash windows, curved sash windows, arched tops, and single or double hung sash window solutions, made entirely to your specifications.
Our bespoke wooden doors are just as carefully designed and manufactured. We build and install hardwood front doors, Victorian-style external doors, period-appropriate French doors, and bespoke internal doors, each one crafted to reflect the architectural style of your property. Whether you need a security-enhanced timber door, a bespoke porch entrance, or a glazed wooden door with heritage charm, we ensure every joinery detail is finely finished and properly sealed.
We take pride in our reputation for high-quality sash window draught proofing, a service that not only reduces heat loss but also eliminates rattles, dust ingress, and outdoor noise, keeping your home more comfortable year-round. For those who wish to retain their original windows while improving efficiency, we also install discreet secondary glazing systems, compatible with listed buildings and conservation area properties.
