Listed Building Windows in East Sussex
Listed building consent turns on detail. We survey the existing joinery, record the profiles and reproduce them section for section.
East Sussex has a housing stock that punishes off-the-shelf joinery — openings settle, reveals go out of square, and cills rarely sit level. Bespoke listed building windows solve that properly.
Specified for East Sussex properties
- Engineered laminated sections on anything over 1.2m, which resist bowing far better than solid stock.
- Stainless or solid brass ironmongery, because plated steel fails first and takes the finish with it.
- Weathered cills with a proper drip groove, so water leaves the timber instead of tracking back under it.
- Glazing beaded internally, so the sealed units can be replaced without disturbing the external finish.
- Trickle ventilation designed into the head where Building Regulations require it, not drilled in afterwards.
We treat listed building windows in East Sussex as joinery rather than a product line. That means real sections, real ironmongery and a finish specified for the exposure the building actually gets.
Ask for the guide price first. If the range works for your budget, we will book a survey in Brighton and firm it up properly.

Questions
Do you repair windows or only replace them?
We repair wherever repair is the right answer. Rot is normally localised in a cill or the bottom of a stile, and splicing in new hardwood is typically a third of the cost of replacement. We will tell you honestly at survey which way the economics fall.
Can you match existing windows?
Yes. That is most of what we do. We record the existing sections at survey, reproduce the mouldings and sightlines, and match the finish. On listed buildings we will produce like-for-like profile drawings for the consent application.
Are hardwood windows secure?
Yes. Multi-point locking, laminated glass options and key-locking handles are all available, and a solid hardwood frame is considerably harder to attack than a hollow plastic one. We can specify to PAS 24 where a planning condition or insurer requires it.
Do you take away the old windows?
Yes. Removal and responsible disposal are included, along with making good internally. We work one opening at a time so the property is never left open, and we clear the site each day.
How much disruption should I expect?
Less than most people fear. A straightforward replacement is one opening at a time, typically two to four windows a day. Scaffolding is only needed on higher elevations. We protect floors and furniture and leave the site clean each evening.
