Work is well underway on some specialist hardwood replacement windows for a listed property in Surrey. This particular property was once a Baptist church and features some quite beautiful joinery. In recent times it has been converted into a unique private dwelling, but many of the windows are in need of replacement. This is where Realwood step in, we were able to carry out a full site survey of the existing materials used and could match the joinery used in the original windows. The unique thing about these particular windows is that they are triangular in shape! This creates its own set of problems compared to more traditional window shapes but it is nothing that could not be overcome.
Realwood of Sussex are specialists in dealing with listed property planning consents and can provide the local authority with a detailed specification and drawing of the finishing project. Whether it is for a Conservatory, Barn Conversion or hardwood windows and doors then the diversity of Realwood comes into its own.
Remember, if you are considering any improvement works on a listed property then it is very important that you speak to people who are experienced in dealing with such matters and who are sympathetic to the original building or structure. At Realwood we understand the primary concerns and goals that the local planning authorities adhere to. It may be worth taking advantage of our free site survey, this will allow us to see your project in detail and will enable us to give you an accurate proposal for your consideration.
If you think it can't be done on your listed property, then it most probably can!
As always thanks for reading.

New Oak Porches
This month has been a busy month in Oak Porches, we always enjoy working on these structures and Oak is a lovely but sometimes challenging timber to work with. Both porches have been constructed from hand selected green oak and the end result is very satisfying indeed. Both clients have opted for a medium oak stain which really does make the best of the grain.
I will post some photos once the jobs are completed and I can get out on site, however the recent wet weather has made live all the more difficult in terms of fitting them! hopefully this wet weather will soon pass, we certainly cannot complain about the rain compared to some parts of the country which are completely under water.
The next projects in the pipeline are some bespoke hardwood windows for a grand listed property and also an oak garden office as well as an Orangery!
Thanks for viewing and I look forward to our next post.
