Greater Manchester is a county of dense Victorian terraces, mill conversions and large interwar council-built 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
Every casement window we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Greater Manchester, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
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
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Timber Casement Windows in Greater Manchester — common questions
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.
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.
Do you charge for the survey and drawings?
The measured survey and the quotation are free. If you want fully detailed manufacturing drawings or a 3D visual before committing, that is chargeable and the fee comes off the job if you proceed.
