Shropshire is a county of timber-framed and brick town houses, stone cottages and scattered rural farmsteads. 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
A sash 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 Shropshire 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
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Timber Sash Windows in Shropshire — common questions
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.
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.
Is bespoke joinery more expensive than a fitted furniture chain?
On a like-for-like specification it is usually comparable, and often less. Chains price a standard carcass and then charge for every deviation. A bespoke maker prices the actual room once. Where bespoke does cost more is in the materials — solid hardwood and sprayed finishes cost more than foil-wrapped board, and they last a great deal longer.
