Crown Estate Building Overhaul & Window Restoration in London
One of the largest rural holdings in the country, an estate across Regent Street and St James’s in Central London, is a collection of lands and holdings worth £15.6 billion.
The Project
We were entrusted with carrying out over 1,200 splice timber repairs and decorative works to windows across properties managed by The Crown Estate. This high-profile project required exceptional craftsmanship to restore and preserve the architectural integrity of these historic properties.
The Challenges
This prestigious project presented several unique challenges, including meeting the exacting standards expected by high-end clients while adhering to strict timelines, ensuring minimal disruption to residents in premium properties, and working in protected areas requiring strict compliance with heritage preservation guidelines.
The Solution
The Process
We conducted a detailed assessment of all windows to identify necessary repairs and confirm restoration plans with the client, implemented phased scheduling to ensure an efficient workflow with minimal disruption, carried out expert timber splice repairs and high-quality decoration using materials that matched the original design, and performed thorough inspections and final touch-ups to achieve a flawless finish.
The Result
The properties now feature beautifully restored and fully functional windows that preserve their historical character, with positive feedback from residents and The Crown Estate highlighting the enhanced appearance and craftsmanship. The successful completion of this project further strengthened our reputation for excellence in heritage property maintenance and bespoke restoration work.
