THE WORK
Restore period timberwork with care.
Older homes bring together distinctive door profiles, architraves, skirting, verandahs and balcony details. Our heritage carpentry starts with the existing timberwork: what remains sound, which details should be retained and where a repair or replacement is needed. New fitted joinery can also be designed to sit comfortably within a period interior.
The relationship between old and new matters as much as an individual piece of timber. We consider the visible profiles, proportions and surrounding finishes when discussing replacement details. Our Glebe heritage renovation brought together balcony restoration, window replacement, internal upgrades and outdoor living within an existing character home.
Start with the details worth keeping.
Include a wider photograph of the room or façade and close views of the timber features you want to repair or reproduce. Existing drawings, heritage documentation and any designer’s brief help define the work. Design, engineering and approval responsibilities should be established before the repair or renovation scope is finalised.

A few useful answers.
Can you match existing architraves and skirting?
We can assess the profile, proportions and condition and discuss suitable matching options. Photographs and measurements help initially; an exact match depends on the existing detail and available materials.
Can fitted storage suit a heritage home?
Yes. Bookcases, cupboards and window seats can be planned around the room’s existing features, with proportions and finishes chosen to complement the interior.
Can heritage repairs form part of a larger renovation?
Yes. Timber repairs can be coordinated with other improvements. The Glebe case study shows heritage features considered alongside kitchen, bathroom and outdoor living work.
What should I send before a heritage carpentry inspection?
Send your suburb, the areas needing attention, wide and close-up photographs, and any relevant plans or heritage documents. Explain which original features you particularly want to retain.
