Accoya, because they're painted and they live outdoors. It barely moves or rots, holds paint far longer than ordinary softwood, and carries its maker's warranty against rot and decay for 50 years above ground.
Can you match the windows in an older house?+
Yes. We make them to the opening rather than to a standard size, so the proportions match what's already there. In a conservation area it matters more again, because uPVC is usually refused and the replacement has to be timber.
Do they come painted?+
Yes. Windows are sprayed in the workshop in whatever colour you choose, and arrive finished, so there's no decorator to sort for them.
How long does a window job take?+
It scales with the number. A whole house of twenty-odd windows runs to around two months; a handful is a much shorter job. We'll put the timescale in your written proposal once we've seen what's involved.
What will a window job cost?+
It depends on the size, the number and the detail, so there's no single price. Send a few photos and rough measurements and we'll come back with a budget range before anyone visits.
We had a load bearing wall removed and our kitchen fully replaced including moving an external door, replacing windows, rewiring and moving plumbing. From the very first time Sam came to look at the job, through the work being done and the final touches the job was fantastic. Sam was honest, reliable, easy to speak to, nothing was too much trouble and the quality of the work completed was outstanding. I cannot fault Ames Carpentry at all and would highly recommend using Sam for any jobs big or small. We have already got him lined up to finish our utility room and a few other bits. We had a brilliant experience and Sam and his team won’t let you down!!

We are so happy with the work Sam has done for us, it has totally transformed our home. Every project given is finished to an exceptionally high standard. He arrives on time and leaves the place spotless. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-end finish.

Brilliant service from start to finish! He arrived exactly when he said he would, worked quickly and efficiently, and even cleaned everything up afterwards — despite me telling him not to worry and that I’d do it myself! Couldn’t fault the service and would highly recommend him.

Sam’s work is of the highest quality. Sam has done quite a lot of much needed carpentry and joinery work for us including internal doors and panelling. We are really pleased with the excellent work and would highly recommend him.

Sam built a solid wooden fence for me which was about 30 foot in length and 7ft tall. He arranged the delivery of the wood for me early so that I could treat it prior to it being built. The fence was completed and I am absolutely made up with it. I would highly recommend him to anybody. Thanks Sam
