Heritage Timber Windows Melbourne
Barnsbury Joinery specialises in heritage timber windows and sash window restoration across Melbourne and Victoria. We bring over two decades of British heritage joinery expertise to Australia, specialising in heritage timber window restoration, sash window repairs and bespoke timber window manufacturing across Melbourne and Sydney.
Our craftsmen restore original timber sash windows and manufacture custom timber windows designed to match traditional architectural styles. Melbourne contains some of Australia's most distinctive historic homes, including Victorian terraces in Carlton and Fitzroy, Edwardian homes in Hawthorn and Camberwell, and Federation houses.

Heritage Timber Window Specialists in Australia
Historic homes across Melbourne and Sydney often retain original timber sash windows, which are an important architectural feature of period properties.
Rather than replacing these windows with modern alternatives, Barnsbury Joinery focuses on heritage window restoration and conservation-led repairs, ensuring the original craftsmanship and design are preserved.
Our experience restoring historic timber windows in the United Kingdom allows us to bring proven heritage joinery techniques to Australian homes.
