The process usually starts with an initial consultation, followed by a detailed proposal, home survey, made-to-measure manufacture, installation and aftercare. The full timeline depends on the frame material, style, glazing specification and complexity of the project.

Prices depend on the material, style, size, glazing specification, colour and installation requirements. As a guide, fitted uPVC casements often cost around £400 to £800, aluminium casements around £700 to £1,200, and timber casements around £900 to £1,800. Sash, bay, bow, tilt and turn and flush casement designs may cost more because they can be more complex to manufacture or install.

Most like-for-like replacements on standard homes do not need planning permission. However, listed buildings, properties in conservation areas and projects involving significant design or material changes may be subject to additional controls. It is best to check the requirements for your property before work begins.

Start with your budget, property style, thermal performance, noise levels, maintenance preferences and the overall look you want to achieve. Frame material, glazing, colour and opening style all affect the final result, so a home survey and consultation can help narrow down the most suitable options.

Victorian and Edwardian homes often suit sash, bay or flush casement designs. 1930s properties commonly work well with casements or smaller bays, while modern townhouses, extensions and new builds can suit aluminium casements, tilt and turn systems or slim-framed designs. Country cottages often work well with timber or flush casement styles.

Clean the frames and glass regularly and check moving parts periodically. Hinges, locks and handles may need light maintenance, while seals, drainage channels and weep holes should be kept clear. Regular care helps maintain appearance, performance and ease of operation over time.

Guarantee cover can include frames, sealed glass units and operating hardware, depending on the product specification and installation package. Terms may vary by material, manufacturer and component, so the exact cover is confirmed in your written quote before the project begins.
