Timber · Kensington (W8, SW7)

Timber windows in Kensington

Timber windows preserve the proportion and detail of traditional London homes while improving comfort, security, and glazing performance.

Kensington's stucco terraces and garden squares carry some of the strictest planning oversight in London, so timber window work in W8 and SW7 is almost always built around matched sash profiles, slim glazing bars and painted softwood or engineered timber. We survey the elevation, profile new sashes against the surviving originals on the run, and route slimline double glazing through where the conservation officer accepts it. Listed building consent is the norm rather than the exception, so documentation and joinery quality have to land first time.

Kensington's conservation areas and listed buildings drive a timber-first approach, with slimline double glazing where performance upgrades are needed.
