At TRC it’s our passion to see historic buildings cherished and preserved for the future. We pour this enthusiasm and dedication into every project we undertake – down to every last detail.
We are specialist historic window refurbishment contractors, with particular expertise in heritage timber sash and casement window restoration for listed buildings.
Over 25 years we have breathed new life into countless well-loved historic buildings; and we are proud to be trusted and recommended by the UK’s most respected heritage architects and developers.
Please take a look at our short introductory film below for an overview of how we work.
Our sash window restoration services transform decayed and damaged windows; upgrading them and protecting them for the future.
We specialise in historic timber window repairs, particularly sash windows, but heritage casement windows too.
With our full range of services, clients and contractors have the assurance of dealing with one specialist joinery company for the entire project.
Adding window insulation not only improves the thermal performance of the building - it protects the window too.
Window insulation is an essential part of a window renovation project, particularly for older heritage sash windows and casement windows.
Using hidden, rebated sealing strips, our expert window restorers add insulation in key places around the window, putting a stop to draughts and rattles. This can reduce the air leakage of the window by up to 50%, and improve the quality of life for occupants.
We provide glass replacement for traditional timber sash windows and casement windows. Ultra-slim double-glazing provides superb performance, while retaining the elegance of the original windows.
The double-glazed sealed units we install are only 12mm thick, so they usually fit comfortably in a single glazing aperture without the need to alter the timber.
Our expert window restorers carry out all the work on site – so it’s quick, economical and causes minimal disruption.
From sash stops to pulleys, handles to fasteners, we supply and install a suite of elegant sash window furniture.
Elegant sash window furniture provides the authentic finishing touch to any window or door refurbishment.
Our architectural ironmongery collection combines function and form, and will suit sash windows of any era.
We offer full interior and exterior painting and decoration by our heritage experts, to protect windows for the future.
We undertake full decoration of timber windows, both internally and externally, with particular expertise in heritage sash windows and casement windows.
Window painting naturally provides an aesthetic finish to any window restoration. But more than that, it protects the timber for years to come and enhances the durability of the restoration, if undertaken correctly.
When replacing timber is the only option, we source authentic matching timber for windows and doors, fascias, soffits and beams.
TRC excels in restoring and replacing historic timber work, to preserve it for the future.
There is little that can match the authenticity of historic timberwork in a building. Yet when time takes its toll, restoration becomes essential to maintain structural integrity.
When damaged timber needs to be repaired or replaced, it’s important to do so with skill, care and sensitivity.
