Non-Standard Windows

Bespoke windows not available from retail outlets

Windows that aren't available from retail outlets — odd shapes, awkward sizes, unusual openings, replacements for one-offs that no manufacturer makes anymore. This is one of the things we get called for most, particularly on period properties and converted barns and outbuildings.

If you've been told by retail installers that something can't be done, or that you'll have to compromise on the size or shape, please get in touch. We design and make to your opening, not the other way around.

Customisation

Tailored to your home

We start from a site survey or a hand-drawn template you provide. Curved sections are steam-bent or laminated in the workshop; complex shapes are jigged so the joinery sits true. Every window is one-off.

Ideal for

Property suitability

Listed buildings, period restorations, converted barns and oast houses, gable-end feature windows, ecclesiastical conversions, and any property where the original window can't be sourced from a catalogue.

Installation

How we fit it

Non-standard installations often involve reveal repairs, stone or brick lintel work, or structural prep — we coordinate any building work alongside the joinery so it's a single point of contact for you.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Do you work with listed buildings and conservation areas? +
Frequently โ€” a significant portion of our work is for period and listed properties. We can produce drawings, sample sections and historical-detail matches to support conservation officer applications, and we're familiar with the listed-building process across Kent and the London boroughs.
How long does it take from first call to installation? +
A typical project takes 6โ€“12 weeks from initial site visit to install. Survey and design happen in week 1; manufacture in our workshop takes the bulk of the time; installation is usually a few days on site. Larger projects or specialist timber may take longer โ€” we'll be honest about timings at the quote stage.
Do you do free quotes? +
Yes. We'll come out, talk through your project, take measurements and provide a written itemised quote. There's no obligation, no high-pressure follow-up and no fee.
Do you install everything yourselves? +
Yes. Everything we make is fitted by our own team. For kitchens and bedrooms we also coordinate any plumbing, electrical or building work on your behalf so you have a single point of contact.
Where are you based and how far do you travel? +
Our workshop is at Seal Croft Farm in Seal, just outside Sevenoaks. We cover Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Maidstone, Bromley, Orpington and much of central and south London. For larger projects we travel further into Kent and Surrey.
