From Humble Beginnings
The story of Window Repair Company began in 1988 when David Larner, a skilled engineer and former window manufacturer, identified a significant gap in the market. After receiving numerous enquiries about the restoration of historic windows, David noticed that there was no company capable of fully restoring windows of all types to their original state, while also enhancing their design and performance. Driven by his commitment to sustainability and a philosophy of “make do and mend,” David embarked on a journey to create a company that would specialise in breathing new life into historic windows. This marked the beginning of Window Repair Company, where his vision of preserving architectural heritage through meticulous craftsmanship became a reality.
From these modest beginnings, David started with smaller domestic projects, meticulously restoring a variety of window types. His dedication to quality and attention to detail quickly set his work apart. As word spread about the exceptional craftsmanship and the ability to restore even the most delicate and intricate windows, demand grew. Over the years, what started as a small, passionate endeavor blossomed into a thriving business. Today, Window Repair Company is proud to be recognized as the UK’s leading window restoration specialists. Our team of expert joiners, metalworkers, installers, and glaziers work in harmony, combining their unique skills to restore not just windows, but entire façades, ensuring that the character and history of buildings are preserved for future generations.
At Window Repair Company, we are committed to the philosophy of “preserving the present to see into the future.” Our work goes beyond restoration; it’s about safeguarding the stories and craftsmanship embedded in every pane of glass and frame. We approach each project with the same dedication and care that David Larner instilled in the company from day one. Whether it’s a Georgian sash window, an Art Deco metal casement or a modern curtain walling system, we treat each window with the reverence it deserves, using traditional methods and sustainable materials to enhance their longevity and performance. Our goal is not just to restore windows but to honor the architectural heritage of every building we work on, ensuring that their beauty and history can be enjoyed for many years to come.
