    Testimonial

    We were very impressed with the quality of the product, attention to detail, authenticity and finish. Leaded lights absolutely superb! Highly recommended 

    Mr Fulton, TW11

    We are absolutely delighted with all of our new doors which are beautiful, fit perfectly and keep the draughts out! We are particularly pleased with the bespoke stained glass – a perfect match for our existing Edwardian window above. Service was exemplary throughout too.

    Ms Eaton, WC1

    Thank you for creating and installing such good quality windows to meet our ever-changing designs. We are very happy with the results and are already recommending you to friends and family.

    Mr Rock, N10

    I had delayed replacing the original windows to my Edwardian house as I feared losing the fine detail and elegance, but The Traditional Window & Conservatory Company were the answer!. They replicated the exact appearance of the original windows–but what an improvement to both the heatand sound insulation!!. I am delighted! The company employees and representative were also polite,helpful and efficient. Thank you.
