Powys is a county of stone and timber-framed farmhouses across a very dispersed rural area. 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
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For timber casement windows in Powys we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
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 Powys — common questions
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.
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 guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
