Timber Windows Designed for Essex Homes

Timber window prices are subject to survey, based on the design and work required. Our prices include fitting, removal and the stated warranty. Confirm VAT treatment and any additional work in your written quotation. Matching an existing sash window’s proportions, glazing bars and mouldings can involve different work from fitting a straightforward new casement. Timber, glazing, coatings, hardware and installation details all affect the price. Send photographs of the existing windows so the quotation reflects the details you want to retain.

Standard timber windows usually have an order lead time of around six to eight weeks. Confirm the lead time for your exact design before ordering, particularly where bespoke detailing or heritage matching is needed. This is the product order lead time; the fitting appointment and time on site are arranged separately.

Timber windows can provide good insulation when the frame, glazing, seals and installation work together. Compare the documented performance of the complete windows being proposed. A traditional appearance does not mean you have to accept draughts, but the available glazing and detailing may be constrained on a protected building.

There is no single repainting interval for every timber window. The coating, colour, exposure and condition of the finish all matter. Clean the windows and inspect the coating regularly, dealing with small areas of damage before moisture reaches the timber. Follow the care schedule for the supplied product when planning repainting or repairs.

We can assess the existing proportions, opening style, glazing bars, mouldings and colour when preparing a replacement proposal. Pristine’s heritage timber-window project shows our work on bespoke replacement windows. The proposed match, glazing and any approval requirements need to be agreed before manufacture.

Check with your local planning or conservation authority before ordering. Listed buildings and conservation areas have different requirements, and choosing timber does not automatically make a replacement acceptable. The window design, retained historic fabric and glazing can all matter. The Planning Portal’s window guidance explains the checks to make.

For historic windows, repair and upgrading should be considered before replacement. Localised damage does not necessarily mean the whole window has reached the end of its life. Where replacement is needed, the new design should respect the building and any consent requirements. Historic England’s guidance explains the case for retaining traditional windows where possible.

Our product warranty is 10 years, with two-year cover for glass and hardware. Ask for the relevant written terms for the products in your quotation, including care requirements, exclusions and any separately agreed installation cover.
