Traditional techniques, conservation-grade materials – honouring the past while meeting modern standards
Malbrook has earned the trust of conservation officers, heritage architects and private clients across the Home Counties for the sympathetic restoration and accurate replication of period joinery in listed buildings and conservation areas.
Whether repairing original Georgian sash windows with lamb’s-tongue glazing bars, recreating Victorian panelled doors, reinstating ornate cornices and architraves, or rebuilding a complete 18th-century staircase, we work strictly to conservation principles using traditional section sizes, authentic mortice-and-tenon joinery and historically correct finishes.
Every project is carried out in close consultation with the relevant authorities. From initial measured survey to final installation, everything remains under our direct control in the Reading workshop — ensuring absolute fidelity to the original while discreetly incorporating modern performance where permitted.
