Wrexham is a county of brick terraces, former colliery housing and expanding modern estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a window seat 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
We build window seats & bay seating as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Wrexham address.
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.

Straight answers
Window Seats & Bay Seating in Wrexham — common questions
Can a window seat be free-standing?
It can be built as a movable box, but scribed and fixed always looks better because the gaps to the reveal disappear.
What height should the seat be?
450mm to the top of the finished cushion, matching normal chair height. If the seat has to sit under a windowsill, the sill height dictates it — we will tell you at survey whether the result will be comfortable.
How do you deal with a radiator under the window?
Either relocate it, or build the seat over it with a ventilated grille front and a gap at the top. Boxing a radiator loses some output, so we size the grille to keep that to a minimum.
Do you supply the cushions?
We supply the seat and can provide the template. Cushions are made by an upholsterer — we can recommend one, and a 75mm to 100mm foam with a fabric of your choosing is the usual specification.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
