Bedfordshire is a county of brick-and-tile village stock alongside extensive post-war and modern estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a casement window has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
A casement window is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Bedfordshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Straight answers
Timber Casement Windows in Bedfordshire — common questions
How long do timber casements last?
In Accoya with a factory finish, fifty years plus with routine maintenance. In unmodified softwood, twenty to thirty. The failure point is nearly always the bottom rail and the sill where water sits.
What ironmongery do casements use?
Either traditional peg stays and casement fasteners, or concealed friction hinges with espagnolette locking. Traditional looks right; friction hinges are easier to seal and give you an egress-compliant opening where a fire escape window is required.
Can casements be made in a curved or arched head?
Yes. Segmental and semicircular heads are made from laminated sections so the head does not have short grain. It adds to the cost and the lead time.
How much disruption is there when replacing windows?
One to two windows a day, each open for a few hours. We make good the internal reveal and the external pointing; redecoration of the reveal is usually needed afterwards.
Is bespoke joinery more expensive than a fitted furniture chain?
On a like-for-like specification it is usually comparable, and often less. Chains price a standard carcass and then charge for every deviation. A bespoke maker prices the actual room once. Where bespoke does cost more is in the materials — solid hardwood and sprayed finishes cost more than foil-wrapped board, and they last a great deal longer.
