Rutland is a county of limestone and Collyweston-slate cottages in tightly conserved villages. 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 Rutland in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
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.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Timber Casement Windows in Rutland — 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.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
