FAQs

Should I restore or replace my old windows?

The decision depends on the condition of existing frames, your budget, and performance requirements. Well-constructed traditional windows can often be restored to excellent condition at lower cost than replacement. We assess frame condition, glazing options, and performance expectations to recommend the most appropriate approach. Restoration preserves period character and often provides excellent value, whilst replacement may be necessary for severely deteriorated installations.

What security features do you recommend for external doors?

We recommend multi-point locking systems, reinforced door frames, and quality deadlock installations. Anti-snap cylinder locks and security hinges provide additional protection. For external doors, we focus on robust construction and professional installation of reliable locking mechanisms. We assess your requirements and recommend appropriate hardware that balances security with smooth daily operation and fits within your budget.

How much do new timber windows typically cost?

Timber window costs vary significantly based on size, design complexity, and glazing specifications. Basic casement windows start from around £400-600 per window, whilst traditional sash windows typically cost £800-1200 per window including installation. Larger windows, complex designs, and premium glazing increase costs accordingly. We provide detailed quotes after measuring and discussing your specific requirements, including any necessary structural modifications.

Do you handle building regulation compliance for window replacements?

Yes, we ensure all window and door installations meet current building standards and coordinate any necessary building control notifications. Our installations comply with structural and safety requirements. We handle the documentation and processes required for your installation, ensuring everything meets the necessary standards without complications for you.
