Nottinghamshire is a county of red-brick Victorian terraces, mining-village stock and expanding suburban estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood 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 hardwood 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 Nottinghamshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
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.

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
Hardwood Windows in Nottinghamshire — common questions
What about conservation areas?
Timber windows are usually what the officer wants, but the detail matters — the profile, the bar width, whether the glass is putty-line or bead. We drive the drawings from that.
Are they draughty like old timber windows?
No. Modern hardwood windows carry brush and compression seals in the rebate. The draughts people associate with timber come from hundred-year-old joints, not from the material.
Which species do you use?
Accoya for painted work — it barely moves, so paint lasts. Sapele and utile for stained finishes. European oak where the building demands it, detailed with stainless fixings because oak tannin corrodes ordinary steel and stains the timber black.
Do they need painting often?
Factory-finished accoya typically goes eight to ten years before a maintenance coat. Softwood on the same elevation would want attention in three to five.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
