What sets our arched head windows apart in Hampstead.
Radius, Segmental & Gothic
True radius (semi-circle), segmental (shallow arch), Tudor and Gothic (pointed) heads — CNC-cut to a survey template taken from the existing opening.
Template-Cut Precision
Every arched-head window is cut from a physical template surveyed on site — no assumptions, no gaps at the brickwork, no need to disturb the arch above.
Traceried & Divided
Arched heads can be divided by radial glazing bars, gothic tracery or curved astragal bars — matched to the period of the property.
Any Material
uPVC (fabricated on curved profile), aluminium (roll-formed) or heritage flush-casement — the material is chosen to suit the property, the head is cut the same way.
Modern Thermal Performance
Argon-filled A-rated glazing curved to the arch, warm-edge spacer bars and thermally-broken frames — U-values from 0.9 to 1.4 W/m²K on standard arched heads.
Chapels & School Conversions
The window we most often supply on chapel conversions, converted schools, Victorian bay fronts and stable-block conversions — properties where a rectangular replacement would look wrong.
What Hampstead homeowners tell us.
"A 6.4m aluminium bifold set across the rear of our garden flat. Slim sightlines, perfect thresholds, and the team left the house cleaner than they found it."
"Sprayed a bespoke Farrow & Ball green on our composite front door. The finish is glass-smooth and the security spec exceeds our insurer's PAS 24 requirements."
"They liaised directly with our managing agent and the freeholder — a huge relief. The block now has matched sightlines and a proper 10-year guarantee."

- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Hampstead?
- Working across London means understanding period detail, party-wall etiquette and permit parking as well as we understand glass. We schedule dust sheets, protection and clean-down like a good building firm should. We prepare planning-ready drawings with matched sightlines, glazing-bar depths and hardware for Hampstead projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers arched head windows in Hampstead?

- Can I see recent arched head windows work near Hampstead?
- Yes — we can share recent arched head windows case studies from across London, including projects in Hampstead Village, Belsize Park and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- What thermal performance does arched head windows achieve in Hampstead?
- Energy-efficient arched head windows installed across Hampstead, London achieve whole-window U-values of 0.9–1.4 W/m²K, with the exact frame and glazing specification confirmed after survey.
- Do I need to remove the brickwork above the arch?
- No — we survey the internal arch profile with a template and cut the new frame to match. The masonry above stays completely undisturbed.
- Can the arched head be an opening light?
- Usually not — the curved head is a fixed light for structural reasons. Openings are placed in the rectangular section below the arch. On a large chapel-style window, we specify a radial opening light where head geometry permits.
- Can you match an existing Victorian bay-front arched window?
- Yes — we survey and template every arch individually, so even where original windows are inconsistent across a terrace we can match each one exactly. A single terrace of five bay-front houses might have five slightly different templates; we cut all five.
