Bespoke Timber Windows in London

Benefits of Wooden Windows for London Homes

Timber casement windows are a practical choice for several reasons. When it is responsibly sourced by an FSC-certified company like Lomax + Wood, it is more sustainable than other materials. It also makes sense from an economic perspective. The high-quality bespoke wooden windows London properties deserve might cost 50 percent more than uPVC. However, if they are properly maintained they will last for 60 to 80 years, three times as long as uPVC.

Also, keep in mind that replacement double glazed timber windows London-style will increase a property’s value by around 10%. Fitting cheap uPVC will have the opposite effect and reduces the value by an average of £12,000.

Timber Window Installations in London Conservation Areas

Lomax + Wood supplied and installed bespoke timber sash windows, entrance doors and specialist fire-rated windows for a prestigious new-build development in Deans Mews, located within London’s Harley Street Conservation Area. Designed to complement the surrounding historic architecture, the project combined traditional box sash styling with modern performance features including concealed trickle vents, double and triple glazing, and PAS 24-compliant security. Working closely with architects, Lomax + Wood also produced detailed CAD drawings and manufactured EI60 fire windows to meet the project’s technical requirements while preserving authentic period sightlines.

For a North London property renovation in another London conservation area, Lomax + Wood designed and manufactured a complete range of made-to-order timber windows and doors to restore the building’s original character while introducing contemporary elements to the rear elevation. The installation included timber sash and casement windows, oversized French doorsets and a bespoke bullseye window, all crafted from engineered timber with slim double glazing, concealed trickle vents and high-security locking systems. The result successfully balanced traditional period detailing with improved thermal performance, durability and modern family living.

Our Work in Hampstead Garden Suburb

In Hampstead Garden Suburb, Lomax + Wood supplied and installed slim double glazed timber casement windows from the Kensington & Chelsea range as part of a sensitive conservation-area renovation. Designed to replicate the original period sightlines and mouldings, the made-to-order windows incorporated 18mm Krypton gas-filled slimline units while still meeting local planning and Trust requirements. The project achieved improved thermal performance with a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, helping to reduce energy consumption without compromising the traditional character of the property.

Another Hampstead Garden Suburb project involved the replacement of 25 timber casement windows and three French doors with bespoke conservation-style designs tailored to the existing property. Working closely with the conservation officer, Lomax + Wood delivered authentic leaded detailing to the front elevation alongside slimline double glazing to the side and rear. The finished installation combined enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation with modern PAS 24 security standards, while carefully preserving the heritage appearance expected within the area.

Both hardwood and softwood options are also robust and hard-wearing. Each has its pros and cons, so it comes down to aesthetics when deciding which is right for you. Softwood frames have a smooth surface and are suitable for painting, while hardwood has a more natural-looking finish where you can see the grain of the wood. This can be stained and installed without painting. Care and maintenance best practices are similar for both types.

Types of Timber Windows London is Famous For

There are two common varieties of wood windows London properties tend to use. Sash windows were the style of choice until Victorian times. You can learn more about those here. The other popular configuration is timber casement windows London-wide.

Casement windows have been around almost as long as sash windows, but in Edwardian and Victorian times were generally more common in the countryside. However, the trend towards timber casement windows had arrived in London by the time of the great suburban expansion during the inter-war years.

Wooden casement windows and art deco touches were the order of the day in the 1920s and 30s. Almost a century on, wooden window manufacturers in London have noticed that people are taking period preservation as seriously once more. For example, Croydon, as they are for older Victorian properties a few miles closer to the City in somewhere like Streatham.

We have over 30 years of experience in the design, replacement and installation of bespoke, highly durable, efficient timber-framed double or triple-glazed windows for both residential and commercial customers.
