Buckinghamshire is a county of chiltern brick-and-flint cottages alongside substantial interwar detached homes. That is exactly the kind of building stock a sash 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
Walls in Buckinghamshire are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A sash window that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
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
Timber Sash Windows in Buckinghamshire — common questions
What timber do you use?
Accoya as standard for painted sashes — it is dimensionally very stable, which matters in a component that has to slide. European redwood is available at lower cost with a shorter finish life.
Will the new windows still rattle?
No. The brush seals take up the clearance the sashes need to slide, so they are quiet in wind while still moving freely.
Can traditional sash windows be double glazed?
Yes. Slim-profile double glazed units from 11mm fit into a properly made sash without the sightlines going heavy. They weigh more, so the counterweights are recalculated and the cords upgraded.
Cords and weights, or spiral balances?
Cords and weights for a traditional box sash — they are repairable indefinitely and feel right. Spiral balances suit a slimmer box and are the only option where there is no weight pocket, but they wear out and need replacing.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
