Expert help with Listed Building Consent for windows and external doors — from a do-it-yourself guide to a full application service. From a heritage specialist with over a decade of LBC experience.

Sound familiar?

01

You’ve been told you ‘can’t touch the windows’ — and you’re not sure whether that’s a hard rule or someone being cautious.

02

You’ve started on the council planning portal and given up halfway through.

03

You’ve had three quotes for replacement, all wildly different, and you can’t tell which company actually understands listed buildings.

You want to upgrade your home’s thermal efficiency and security. But the information is conflicting, and you don’t know what’s likely to be allowed.

Listed Building Consent shouldn’t be a maze — but it’s the first time most homeowners run into the system, and the system isn’t built for first-time users. Manufacturers want to sell you windows. Conservation officers want the building protected. Planners want the paperwork to be right. No one is there to help you make sense of it.

That’s where I can help.

How I work

Window Woman is a specialist guidance service for owners of listed buildings and properties in conservation areas — from a quick sense-check to a full application, depending on what you need.

01

Heritage specialist, plain English

Over a decade of Listed Building Consent experience, explained in language that makes sense.

02

Proposals built around your budget

I start with what your building needs and what your conservation officer will expect, then tailor it to your budget — working with specialist heritage joiners to put together a proposal that covers windows, application and installation in one conversation.

03

From first call to installed windows

I can manage the whole project — the consent application, the workshop conversations, the timeline — so you don’t have to.
