Listed Buildings
Listed buildings are a treasure of architectural history, and preserving their character is vital to maintaining their legacy for future generations. Updating windows and doors in these properties requires not only skilled craftsmanship but also a deep understanding of heritage regulations.
With decades of experience working on listed buildings, the hawker Joinery team specialise in crafting bespoke timber windows and doors that honor the original design while enhancing modern functionality. Our expertise ensures every project we undertake balances historical accuracy with today’s standards for insulation, security, and durability.

Navigating the rules and regulations
The rules surrounding listed buildings can be complex, but our team is here to simplify the process. We provide guidance on materials and designs that meet the requirements for all grades of listed properties, helping to ease the stress of navigating regulations.
Our service includes the creation of professional CAD drawings, which can be submitted as part of your planning permission application. These detailed designs offer planning officers the reassurance that the proposed joinery will uphold the required heritage standards. This collaborative approach ensures a smooth process, from concept to approval.
Preserving heritage with modern benefits
While authenticity is key, bespoke timber windows and doors can subtly incorporate modern advantages like discreet draught-proofing, slimline glazing, and improved weather resistance. This means you can enjoy the timeless beauty of traditional joinery without compromising on comfort.
Our designs are tailored to suit your needs, whether you’re looking to restore original features or replace damaged windows and doors with faithful replicas.
