Timber windows for listed buildings

Experts in replacement windows for listed buildings

We take pride in manufacturing traditional bespoke timber windows that blend seamlessly with the character of listed buildings. Whether you’re renovating a small cottage or a grand Grade II listed property, we’ll work closely with you, local authorities and architects to deliver windows that look incredible and tick all the boxes when it comes to regulatory requirements.

We can manage the full process from design to installation, or provide supply-only services if you already have a trusted installer.

Navigating listed building regulations for timber windows

At FA North, we understand that listed buildings come with strict regulations to preserve historical integrity. But listed building consent and planning permission can be complicated, especially when it comes to replacing timber windows. Over the years, however, we’ve helped countless customers achieve their dream renovations while meeting regulations.

One common challenge is that modern glazing is often thicker than original period designs, which can lead to rejected applications. Our experienced joiners manufacture bespoke windows that replicate original details while meeting modern standards. The perfect example is this Victorian-style porch we manufactured and installed.

The plant on bar windows needed to be around 10mm thinner than standard modern profiles to ensure it was perfectly in keeping with the building’s character. We worked alongside the customer and planning to create a breathtaking porch that everyone could be proud of!

Heritage windows for listed buildings

From classic sash windows to elegant casement and plant-on bar designs, our timber windows are made using traditional joinery methods and high-quality materials. Every window is designed to preserve your property’s charm while offering improved insulation and energy efficiency. Some of the types of timber window we manufacture include:

• Traditional sash windows

• Casement windows

• Bay windows

• Bow windows

• Gothic or arched windows

• Decorative or stained glass windows

• Bespoke heritage reproduction windows

Whatever your needs, we take care to ensure every window fits seamlessly with the original architecture and complies with all local planning and conservation guidelines.
