Timber Windows & Period Property Expertise
Highbury and Islington are known for their period homes, including Victorian and Georgian properties, many of which require specialist attention.
We provide bespoke timber window replacement and installation, ensuring your home retains its character while improving performance and energy efficiency.
Sometimes depending on the location of the property we have to speak with the local planning department to get the authority to install new windows but usually this is part of wider planning submission for an ground floor extension or loft conversion.
