Listed & Conservation
Carefully crafted joinery for listed and conservation properties.
Working on a listed building or within a conservation area requires a thoughtful, informed approach. Every detail matters, from proportions and profiles to materials and finishes.
At Wessex Timber Windows, we specialise in bespoke timber windows and doors for listed buildings and conservation properties. With over 20 years of experience, we balance traditional craftsmanship with modern performance, while working in line with the expectations of conservation officers and planning authorities.
Whether you are restoring original features, replacing damaged joinery or planning new work, we provide clear guidance and carefully considered solutions throughout
A considered approach to heritage joinery
Alterations to listed buildings require careful consideration, and getting the detail right is essential to securing approval and protecting your property’s character and long-term value.
We regularly work with homeowners, conservation officers and local planning authorities across Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire, helping to ensure each project meets the necessary requirements while remaining true to the building’s original design.
Our work includes:
- Like-for-like timber window and door replacements – accurately matching original profiles, mouldings and proportions
- Listed building drawings and support – prepared to assist with planning applications
- Sympathetic restoration – retaining original features wherever possible
- Heritage glazing solutions – including slim doubling glazing, vacuum glazing and secondary glazing
- Bespoke joinery – individually designed to complement your property’s architecture
Our experience means we understand what is required to achieve approval while maintaining architectural integrity.

I should like to thank you for supplying three excellent replacement windows for our grade II listed house and for arranging for such a conscientious team of fitters to install these. The fitters were extremely careful in their work and did a really excellent job of both installation and in cleaning up afterwards.
