Bespoke Timber Windows and Doors in Richmond - Answers for Owners of Richmond's Most Distinguished Homes
Richmond upon Thames is home to some of the most architecturally significant residential properties in England. From the Grade I listed Georgian townhouses of Richmond Green and the Maids of Honour Row to the grand residences of Richmond Hill, the heritage village of Petersham, and the protected streetscapes of Kew Green, the windows and doors of Richmond's finest homes are not merely functional elements - they are protected features of the national architectural heritage. At Polmor Ltd, we possess the specialist skills, the bespoke tooling, and the deep understanding of heritage joinery requirements needed to design, manufacture, and install timber windows and doors that meet the exacting standards of Richmond's conservation officers, listed building legislation, and the architectural legacy of the properties themselves. Below are the questions Richmond homeowners and their architects ask us most often.
We own a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Richmond Green. The original sash windows have extremely fine glazing bars that no standard manufacturer has been able to replicate accurately. Can you match them?
Yes - and this is precisely the level of challenge our workshop exists to solve. Georgian glazing bars are among the most demanding elements in period joinery. Their profiles - typically an ovolo or ogee moulding - are significantly slimmer than Victorian equivalents, and the tolerances required are extremely tight. We grind our own bespoke tooling specifically to match the exact profile and dimensions of your original bars, whether the configuration is six-over-six, eight-over-eight, or any other authentic Georgian arrangement. The result is a new box sash window with glazing bars that satisfy the most rigorous conservation officer scrutiny while accommodating slim-profile double glazing for genuine thermal improvement.
Our early Georgian sash windows have no horns - the corners are plain. Will you replicate this correctly, or will you simply add horns like most joiners do?
We replicate it correctly - without horns. This distinction matters enormously in Richmond, where conservation officers and English Heritage are well aware of the historical inaccuracy of adding Victorian-era horns to early Georgian sash windows. Horns were introduced in the mid-Victorian period to strengthen the mortise and tenon joint when sheet glass became available and sashes grew heavier. Early Georgian windows predate this development entirely. We use alternative joinery techniques to achieve the necessary structural integrity at the corners while preserving the authentic plain appearance that your listed building requires.
Our property in Richmond requires Listed Building Consent for window replacement. How do you help us navigate this process?
This is an area where our experience is particularly valuable. Listed Building Consent is a legal requirement for any works to a listed building that affect its character, and replacing windows without it is a criminal offence under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. We work closely with homeowners and their architects to produce the detailed drawings, material specifications, and technical descriptions that a Listed Building Consent application requires. We understand what conservation officers in Richmond expect - precise historical replication, appropriate timber species, sympathetic glazing solutions - and we manufacture to those standards as a matter of course.
We have a Regency bow window on our Richmond Hill property that is deteriorating badly. Can you rebuild a curved window of this complexity?
Yes. Bow windows are among the most technically demanding projects in period timber joinery. The curved head, the angled jambs, and the individual sash units within each facet of the bow must all be engineered to follow the precise radius of the original curve. We build bow windows from carefully selected and shaped solid timber, replicating the original moulding profiles, glazing bar details, and overall proportions. Every section is calculated to fit within the existing masonry opening and to work in harmony with the surrounding Regency architecture of the facade.
Our Georgian front door in Richmond has a semicircular fanlight with a delicate radial glazing bar pattern. Can you replicate this as part of a complete new entrance assembly?
Yes. A Georgian fanlight with a radial or spider's web glazing pattern is one of the most iconic - and most technically demanding - elements of period joinery. We design and build complete bespoke entrance assemblies including the door frame, six-panel door leaf, and a faithfully replicated fanlight with glazing bars shaped and positioned to match the exact original pattern. Every proportion - the height and width of the fanlight, the thickness and profile of the bars, the relationship between the door and the overlight - is calculated to suit the specific period and architectural character of your Richmond property.
We are near Kew Green, which is within a UNESCO World Heritage buffer zone. Are the planning requirements even stricter here than in a standard conservation area?
Yes - the proximity to the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew UNESCO World Heritage Site means that planning scrutiny in this area is among the most rigorous in the country. Conservation officers apply an exceptionally high standard of historical accuracy to any works affecting the appearance of buildings near the Green. PVC is entirely unacceptable, and even timber windows with slightly incorrect profiles or proportions are likely to be refused. We manufacture to the precise historical specifications required in this context - grinding our own tooling where necessary - and we have the experience to guide you through the planning process from the outset.
We have an Edwardian property in East Sheen with original stained glass panels in the front door sidelights. Can you build a new door set that preserves these panels?
Yes. Original stained glass panels are irreplaceable heritage features that add significant character and value to an Edwardian entrance. We design and manufacture complete bespoke door sets - frame, door leaf, fanlight, and sidelights - with openings dimensioned precisely to receive your existing stained glass panels safely and securely. If the panels require conservation or restoration before reinstatement, we can coordinate with specialist glaziers to ensure every element of the finished entrance works together as one beautifully integrated assembly.
We own a riverside property in Richmond and need new French doors opening onto a terrace above the Thames. What timber and finishing approach do you recommend for this exposed location?
Riverside locations present specific challenges for timber joinery - elevated humidity, driving rain from the river, and high UV exposure from south-facing aspects over the water. We select timber species with proven natural durability and dimensional stability in damp and exposed conditions. We engineer our French doors with advanced draught seals along every edge and apply multi-coat finishing systems specifically designed for high-exposure environments. The result is a set of beautiful, traditional French doors that perform reliably and resist deterioration even in the demanding conditions of a Thames-side terrace.
Our large detached home on Richmond Hill has many different window types across the facade - sash at the front, casement at the rear, a bay on the ground floor. Can you manage a project of this complexity as a single commission?
Absolutely. Large Richmond Hill properties often combine multiple window types, proportions, and elevational characters within a single building. We manage this as one coordinated project - designing and manufacturing every window individually to suit its specific opening, architectural context, and planning requirements, while maintaining a consistent timber species, moulding language, and finish quality across the entire house. This unified approach ensures the property reads as a coherent architectural whole rather than a collection of mismatched replacements.
How do we begin a bespoke timber window or door commission for our Richmond property?
Contact us by phone or through our website to arrange an initial consultation. We will discuss the scope of your project, the heritage status and conservation area designation of your property, and any Listed Building Consent or planning requirements that apply. We can visit your Richmond home to assess the existing windows and doors, study the original details, take precise measurements, and advise on timber species, glazing solutions, and the documentation needed for your planning application. From there, we provide a detailed, no-obligation proposal covering the full scope of your commission - design, heritage documentation support, manufacture, and installation.
