We work across properties subject to Heritage Overlay controls and are experienced in projects involving retention of original fabric, detailed profile replication and careful material selection appropriate to historic construction.
Our approach prioritises:
• Retention and repair of existing elements wherever feasible
• Faithful reproduction of historic mouldings, glazing bars and joinery details
• Use of appropriate timber species aligned with conservation principles
• Integration of performance upgrades where permitted and required
• Collaboration with architects, heritage consultants and builders
We understand the importance of complying with statutory requirements under the Heritage Act 2017 for places listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and work closely with clients to ensure appropriate approvals are obtained prior to commencement.
Sunset Joinery operates a fully equipped timber workshop in Melbourne and undertakes both partial conservation works and full window and door replacement where justified.
