This planning application involved the replacement of one door and eleven windows at a Grade 3 listed property.

The existing windows were non-historic and had deteriorated to the point where they were no longer fit for purpose. The door was also a later, non-historic addition, with the exception of its original frame.

We were delighted to assist our clients in securing approval for the replacement of these items, helping to improve the property’s condition while ensuring the new timber is sympathetic to its listed status and architectural character.

This planning application involved the replacement of six first-floor windows at a Grade 2 listed 17th-century farmstead.

None of the existing windows were considered original or historic. The existing units were poorly constructed CNC-manufactured windows fitted with single 4mm float glazing, which were not considered appropriate for the character or age of the property.

The proposal sought to replace these windows with traditionally designed 6/6 sash windows, carefully constructed in hardwood timber with slimline double glazing and traditional external putty detailing. The proposed design was intended to provide a more sympathetic appearance, reflecting the historic character of the 17th-century farmstead while improving the performance and longevity of the existing timber.

This planning application involved the replacement of three windows on the front elevation of a Grade 3 listed building, forming part of an 18th-century group of buildings.

The existing windows were non-original, non-historic 6/6 timber windows. The proposal sought to replace the three windows on a like-for-like basis, retaining their established proportions and traditional 6/6 configuration.

The replacement windows were proposed in hardwood timber with slimline double glazing and traditional external putty detailing, providing improved performance while maintaining a sympathetic appearance appropriate to the historic character of the Grade 3 listed building.

All proposed replacements were designed on a like-for-like basis, with the aim of retaining the established appearance, proportions and architectural detailing of the cottage while improving the condition and performance of the existing timber.

This planning application involved the replacement of one window at a Grade 3 listed building.

The existing window was a uPVC unit that was no longer capable of being securely locked. The window was also considered inappropriate to the character of the building and did not complement the historic architectural detailing of the property.

The proposed replacement was carefully designed to match the original arched timber windows located on the south elevation of the building. The new window was proposed in hardwood timber with slimline double glazing and traditional external putty detailing.

The replacement would reinstate a more sympathetic and historically appropriate window design, improving both the functionality of the opening and its contribution to the architectural character of the Grade 3 listed building.

This planning application involved the replacement of a non-historic rear door at a Grade 4 listed property. The existing door was a modern replacement, believed to have been installed in the 2000s, and was considered unsuitable for the character of the property.

We applied for a new timber door featuring a traditional lower TGV panel and larger glazed section, allowing increased natural light into the property while creating a more sympathetic and appropriate design.

The proposed replacement was carefully designed to reflect the character of a traditional farmhouse or barn door, complementing the architectural appearance of the Grade 4 listed property.

This was a repeat client, having previously worked with us on a successful planning application. We were delighted to assist them again and to continue supporting them in the sensitive improvement of their Grade 4 listed property.

This planning application involved the replacement of the existing front door and the formation of new French doors to the rear of a Grade 3 listed property.

The existing front door and rear window were constructed from non-traditional uPVC and were considered unsuitable for the character of the property. The proposal included removing the existing rear window and enlarging the opening to accommodate French doors, providing the clients with increased natural light and improved access to the garden.

The replacement doors are proposed to be constructed in hardwood timber, incorporating a traditional and sympathetic design that complements the architectural character of the property.

This planning application involved the replacement of twelve windows and one door, together with the conversion of an existing rear window opening to form a new door, at a Grade 4 listed building.

The property was vacant and in a dilapidated condition, with a wide variety of window types, materials and glazing styles. This inconsistent arrangement detracted from the overall coherence of the building and did not reflect its historic character. In addition, a number of the existing pine timber windows had deteriorated significantly and were beyond practical repair.

The proposed replacements were carefully designed to respect and reinforce the historic character of the property, creating a more consistent and sympathetic appearance. The new windows and door were proposed in redwood timber with slimline double glazing and traditional external putty detailing. The windows incorporated a traditional 2/2 sash design, helping to restore a more cohesive architectural appearance while improving the condition, performance and longevity of the timber.

We are delighted to have assisted with this stage of the project and cannot wait to see the finished restoration of this wonderful historic property.

This planning application involved the replacement of eight windows and the upgrading of glazing to a further two windows at a Grade 4 listed mid-to-late 19th-century farmstead.

The existing windows were non-historic units that appeared to have undergone multiple previous repairs. Unfortunately, they had deteriorated to a point where further repairs were no longer considered feasible.

The proposed replacements were designed on a like-for-like basis, incorporating hardwood timber, slimline double glazing and traditional external putty detailing. This approach was carefully considered to preserve the established visual character of the farmstead while providing improved thermal performance, durability and longevity.

The proposed works will help to sensitively improve the condition of the property while retaining its historic character and architectural appearance.

This planning application involved the replacement of fifteen windows at a Grade 4 listed mid-19th-century farmhouse.

Following our detailed inspection, it was established that none of the existing windows appeared to be original historic units. While some had been constructed with the intention of replicating traditional detailing, their materials, construction methods and overall condition indicated that they were later additions rather than authentic 19th-century windows. A number of the windows were also fitted with spiral balances and non-traditional lifting mechanisms, further indicating their later construction.

We proposed replacing the existing windows on a like-for-like basis, retaining the established 6/6 sash design where applicable while introducing more appropriate traditional construction. The proposed windows incorporated hardwood timber, 4/6/4 slimline double glazing and traditional bevelled mouldings.

The replacement design was carefully considered to compliment the existing architecture and reflect the original character and detailing of the Grade 4 listed farmhouse, while providing improved performance, durability and longevity.

This planning application involved the replacement of four windows and two doors at a Grade 3 listed property.

None of the existing units were considered original to the property. The windows and doors were predominantly constructed from modern uPVC, with the exception of a pair of aluminium Crittall-style patio doors.

The proposed replacements were designed to provide a more traditional and sympathetic appearance, comprising hardwood timber frames, slimline double glazing and traditional external putty detailing. The windows were designed in a traditional 2/2 sash configuration, helping to restore a more appropriate architectural character while improving the overall appearance and performance of the property.

This planning application involved the replacement of one window at a Grade 2 listed property, together with targeted repairs to the existing bay window.

The existing window had suffered significant deterioration over time, with severe rot affecting the lower casement on the left-hand side. The right-hand supporting beam had also begun to decay, requiring structural repairs to maintain the stability and integrity of the bay window.

The proposed works involved carefully removing the damaged left-hand casement and installing a like-for-like replacement, replicating the original design, materials and detailing to preserve the historic integrity of the window. The deteriorated supporting beam was proposed to undergo targeted repairs using traditional carpentry techniques and appropriate materials, restoring its structural strength without altering the overall appearance of the bay window.

To improve safety and durability, the application also included upgrading the existing glazing to 6mm laminated glass with a traditional putty-faced finish. This provided enhanced safety and durability while maintaining a glazing appearance sympathetic to the original character of the Grade 2 listed property.

This planning application involved the replacement of ten windows at a Grade 3 listed property.

Following our assessment, we considered that nine of the ten windows were historic units, likely original to the building. The windows had undergone numerous previous repairs over the years, including the removal of cills, cementing around the frames and replacement of individual panes of glass. The presence of rolled glass within the windows was also indicative of their age and historic character.

Unfortunately, the windows had deteriorated significantly and had reached a point where further repair was no longer considered feasible. Water infiltration had caused substantial structural deterioration, resulting in sections of the windows bowing outwards and creating an additional safety concern.

We sought permission to replace the windows on a like-for-like basis, retaining their traditional 6/6 sash configuration and established proportions. The proposed replacements incorporated hardwood timber, slimline double glazing and traditional external putty detailing, carefully balancing improved performance and longevity with the need to remain sympathetic to the historic significance and architectural character of the Grade 3 listed property.
