Joinery Services Across London
AMB Joinery operates from our workshop in Uxbridge and delivers bespoke timber joinery projects across Greater London. We work in all London boroughs — from Hackney and Islington in the north and east, to Lambeth and Lewisham in the south, and from the City to Ealing and Richmond in the west. There is no part of London we do not cover.
Where We Work
Our projects span the full geography of Greater London, and we are familiar with the planning context, conservation area requirements and typical property stock in each area.
North and North-East London
Islington, Hackney, Haringey, Camden, Stoke Newington. This is dense Victorian and Edwardian terrace territory, with extensive conservation area coverage and a high concentration of period sash windows. Article 4 Directions are widespread across Islington and parts of Hackney, meaning planning applications are required even for straightforward window replacements. We are experienced in working within these restrictions and can advise on what consent your specific street requires.
Inner East and South-East London
Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, Tower Hamlets. A mix of Georgian riverside properties in areas such as Bermondsey and Deptford, Victorian terraces across New Cross and Forest Hill, and converted warehouse and industrial buildings throughout Shoreditch and Whitechapel. Heritage sensitivity varies considerably; we assess the planning position for each project.
South London
Lambeth, Wandsworth, Merton, Croydon. Wandsworth has extensive conservation coverage across Battersea, Clapham and Balham. Lambeth's Brixton and Herne Hill conservation areas cover large swathes of period stock. These boroughs have a high volume of our sash window repair and replacement work, particularly on Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis where the original windows are still in place.
West and South-West London
Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, Richmond, Ealing, Hounslow. Kensington & Chelsea has the highest density of listed buildings and conservation areas of any London borough, and the conservation officers are among the most demanding. We have significant experience of listed building consent applications here, including working with Fineo vacuum glazing specifications to meet conservation requirements for double glazing. Richmond has a high proportion of detached Victorian and Edwardian properties where bespoke joinery is a better fit than any off-the-shelf product.
Outer West London
Ealing, Hounslow, Hillingdon, Uxbridge. This is our home territory. We know the planning departments, the conservation officers, and the typical property stock in these boroughs well. Many of our most complex heritage joinery projects are here, across the Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes of Ealing and the conservation areas of the Colne Valley corridor.
Property Types We Work On Across London
Victorian terraces (1850–1901)
The most common property type in inner London. Typically two or three storeys, with two to eight sash windows per floor elevation. Original box sash windows in a single or two-over-two configuration are common. Our sash window repair and replacement work is most concentrated here.
Edwardian terraces and semis (1901–1914)
Similar to Victorian stock but often with slightly larger sash windows, more prominent horns and larger panes. Frequently found in Outer London boroughs — Ealing, Islington outskirts, Hackney, Lewisham.
Georgian terraces and townhouses (1714–1837)
Concentrated in Central and Inner London: Islington, Camden, Kensington, Bermondsey riverside. These properties often carry listed building status. Six-over-six sash windows with slender glazing bars are characteristic. Replacement work here requires careful profile matching and often Fineo vacuum glazing to meet conservation requirements.
Interwar and post-war residential (1920–1960)
Common across Outer London boroughs. Casement windows are typical rather than sash, and a higher proportion of our work here involves bespoke front doors, fitted furniture and staircase upgrades rather than window restoration.
Planning and Conservation Area Coverage
London has more conservation areas than any other English city — over 1,000 designated areas covering approximately one-third of all properties in the inner boroughs. Many of our projects are in or adjacent to conservation areas, and planning compliance is a standard part of our survey and specification process.
We identify the planning position for your specific property — whether permitted development applies, whether an Article 4 Direction removes that right, whether listed building consent is required — and advise on what, if anything, needs to be applied for before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all London boroughs?
Yes. We work across all 33 London boroughs and the City of London. If your property is just outside the M25 in the Home Counties, contact us to confirm availability.
Do you work in conservation areas?
Yes — a significant proportion of our work is in conservation areas. We are experienced in the consent process and can advise on Article 4 Directions, listed building consent and permitted development rights for your specific address.
Can you manage a project in a listed building?
Yes. Listed building work requires more careful planning and documentation, but we have managed many projects in listed properties across London. We prepare the drawings and supporting information needed for the local authority application as part of the service.
