Conservation Area Windows

Is your home in a conservation area in Norwich or Norfolk? There are 17 conservation areas in Norwich* and 19 within the borough of Great Yarmouth.** You must get council permissions before you can make certain changes to these homes, including windows, doors, and extensions.  

We’ve carefully selected a wood window specialist for when timber replacements are the only allowable option in Listed Properties or Conservation Areas:

You may have further options where your property is in a conservation area but not listed.

We have long-standing relationships with leading window providers that offer timber alternative solutions that perfectly imitate the look of traditional wood windows and achieve impressive energy efficiency performance, including Residence 9 windows, TimberLook, and Masterframe UPVC sash windows.

These timber alternative UPVC products and our engineered real timber sash windows are all housed in our cosy Norwich Showroom. We make it easy for you to compare products side by side and have transparent, helpful conversations with us about potential costs. A showroom appointment is the ideal starting point.

We are an approved installer of Residence Collection windows and doors, including R9 windows, an authentically designed product regularly approved for use in conservation areas and chosen by owners of 19th-century period homes. Residence 9 windows are known as the original timber window alternative. If desired, you can have the traditional working peg stays, the authentic window handles that enable you to set how far you open the windows. An array of Heritage colours are also available including clotted cream windows, cotswold green frames, painswick ( a green/grey hue) and the newly introduced corse lawn colour choice. The R7 range also feature clay. The superiority of Residence Collection products continues with its energy efficiency performance, achieving 1.2 U-values. A cosy, warm home can be achieved alongside stunning traditional timber alternative windows and doors.

Let our expert installation team ensure a flawless fit and finish so you can enjoy improved security and truly beautiful, timber-look windows and doors for years to come and no more endless painting of your existing wooden windows!
