Windows, Doors and Conservatory Roofs Across the Cotswolds and Somerset
This is our most heavily constrained area, where what is permitted matters as much as what is wanted.
Our Cotswolds and Somerset patch takes in Bishop's Cleeve, Prestbury, Winchcombe and Broadway on the Cotswold escarpment, along with Somerset towns further south. It is the part of our service area with the highest concentration of listed buildings and conservation area coverage, and the work reflects that.
Because front elevations here are so tightly controlled, the biggest wins usually come from the back of the house: insulated conservatory roofs, orangeries, roof lanterns and rear glazing. Where front elevation work is needed we specify slim sightline flush casements, correct glazing bar layouts and heritage finishes that sit properly against honey coloured stone.
Housing in Cotswolds & Somerset
Cotswold stone cottages and townhouses dominate the historic cores of Winchcombe and Broadway, much of it listed, with deep stone reveals and original mullioned openings in places. Prestbury adds thatched and stone village properties plus substantial Victorian and inter-war detached houses on large plots. Bishop's Cleeve pairs a stone core with one of the largest village estate expansions in Gloucestershire, so both heritage and modern estate specifications are needed within the same postcode.
Coverage
Bishop's Cleeve, Prestbury, Winchcombe, Broadway, Woodmancote, Gotherington, Southam, Willersey, Childswickham and the surrounding Cotswold villages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work on listed Cotswold properties?
Yes, and the first thing we do is establish the status. Listed buildings need consent, conservation areas need a close match to the original, and we will tell you honestly when a proposal will not be accepted rather than take the order.
What is the best improvement on a constrained stone property?
Usually the conservatory roof or a rear orangery. Both sit where planning constraint is lightest and both add genuinely usable warm space.
Do modern frames look right on Cotswold stone?
They can, with slim sightlines, correct glazing bar layouts, heritage colours or grained finishes and proper reveal setting. We bring samples so you can judge it against your own stone.
