Casement window & timber door repairs
Timber casements, French doors and front doors repaired, re-hung and made to work again — or made new to match when they are past saving.
Period houses rarely have only sash windows. We repair and restore timber casement windows, French doors and front doors with the same joinery and the same 10-year draught-proofing guarantee — surveyed free, quoted in writing.
Casement windows
- Rotten timber spliced out and replaced, not filled
- Windows that will not close eased, re-hung and adjusted
- New hinges, stays and fasteners to suit the period
- Re-glazing, including putty work and failed units
- Prepared and painted so the repair does not show
Timber doors
- Front, back and French doors eased, re-hung and made weathertight
- Rotten bottom rails and stiles repaired in new timber
- Draught-proofing and weatherbars fitted
- Locks, letterplates and ironmongery changed or upgraded
- New made-to-measure doors where the original has gone
We also work as a subcontractor on commercial and public-sector joinery — councils, housing associations, developers and property managers. See the commercial page for how we work on site.
Casement and door questions
Do you repair casement windows as well as sash?
Yes. Same approach: splice in new timber where it has decayed, re-glaze, re-hang on new hinges and make the window close properly again, rather than replacing the frame.
Can you fix a door that sticks or drops?
Usually, yes. A door that binds is normally hinges, a swollen stile or a dropped frame. We ease and re-hang it, repair the timber and adjust the ironmongery.
Do you make new timber doors?
We make and fit new timber doors where the original is beyond repair, matched to the opening and the period of the house.
Is casement work priced like sash work?
Casement and door work is quoted after a free survey rather than from a price list, because the jobs vary more. Our sash prices are published in full on the prices page.
