Rutland is a county of limestone and Collyweston-slate cottages in tightly conserved villages. 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
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For hardwood windows in Rutland 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
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
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
Hardwood Windows in Rutland — common questions
How are they finished?
Sprayed before delivery, all six faces including the top and bottom of the sash. Ends and rebates sealed. This is the difference between a ten-year finish and a three-year one.
Why choose hardwood over softwood?
Durability and stability. On an exposed elevation a hardwood or modified-timber window will hold its finish and its geometry for far longer, which matters more than the initial price difference over a twenty-year life.
Can hardwood windows be double glazed?
Yes, and slim units are available where sightlines matter on a period elevation. The section sizes are set by the unit thickness, so we specify glass and timber together rather than one after the other.
Will they match my existing windows?
We take sections off the originals so the sightlines, the glazing bar widths and the cill projection come back the same. Modern stock sections are usually chunkier and it shows across a facade.
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.
