Heritage restoration
Heritage window restoration on the Sunshine Coast.
Older timber windows were built from hardwood that's no longer available — once it's ripped out, it's gone. We restore the original windows in Queenslanders and character homes so they work like new and look like they always did.

Repair before replace
Original timber is almost always worth keeping. We cut back only what's perished and rebuild to the original profile, so the window keeps its character and the home keeps its fabric.
Match the original joinery
Mouldings, glazing bars and horns are reproduced to match the existing profiles, so repaired sections sit indistinguishably alongside untouched timber.
Breathable, reversible work
We use traditional methods and compatible materials — linseed putty, timber in-lays and proper primers — so repairs move with the building instead of fighting it.
Fix the cause, not just the rot
Failed sills are re-pitched, glazing re-bedded and joints sealed, so the water that caused the rot can't get back in.
Where this work fits best
Queenslanders and timber cottages
Double-hung sashes, casements and French doors in pre-war and post-war timber homes — repaired in place without disturbing the character that makes them worth keeping.
Heritage-listed and character-overlay homes
Where replacement isn't an option — or isn't permitted — restoration keeps you compliant while returning windows to full working order.
Windows others have written off
If you've been told a window needs replacing, get a second opinion. Most rotted timber windows are repairable, and repair is usually the cheaper, better-looking outcome.
Most heritage restorations are finished in 1 - 4 days on site. See before and after photos of recent work, our sash window repair process, or browse our full restoration services.
