Timber windows in Guidepost
Casement Windows across Guidepost tends to be driven by the condition of what is already there. Most of what we survey locally is border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages, which is not built to any modern module. Because of the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England, we see combined frost and salt damage stripping finishes within a few seasons more often here than in most of the country. Where we put the effort is casements set out so the opening lights land where you actually want them.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A local consideration we always raise: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

Verified client, NorthumberlandGuidepost questions
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
